On an 2006 I'd check to make sure the alternator has been changed (they were common to fail on the 2006 ones)
Check the oil diaphragm housing is ok - if there's a slight (or loud) whine on tickover which goes if you pull the dipstick out, then it needs replacing.
Tyres are £105ish for Goodyear Asymmetric 2 from Camskill (regarded as very well suited to the FST)
As Richie says - lots of receipts is never a bad thing. I've done 30,000 miles in mine and it's hardly missed a beat as I've looked after it
