I have a 55 plate 200lx, it's the 75 ps version tddi and it's a great little van, I'm told the tddi is a more reliable engine, it will be a bit slower though, they tend to munch front tyres so rotate the wheels around to get max wear out of the tyres, I paid a bit more than what I wanted to for mine but it had low mileage on it 17k when I bought it in 2010,

Don't really know or heard of any major flaws with them, if you can get one with lower mileage that's always an advantage, other than that just check the usual working parts for wear n tear
