Water pumps fail,easy to swap to a metal impellor one. Rear door locks play up so the door won't unlock properly, rust on rear arches & heaters can stop directing the air where you want.Other than that its a great car.I had one for a year and not bad for the money.

I've managed 30mpg on a run which isn't bad, and you don't have to drive miss daisey to do it.
