Thanks. 145K just sounds as a lot. Its a 01 so it is also quiet old.
It have some rust under the car and the cam belt have not been changed, is it a issue? And is not a problem just having a 1 litre engine. I have heard it put to much pressure on the engine.

It has a cam chain. Chains are less likely to go boom for no apparent reason.

I had an US version (ECHO) with the 1.5 that had 318,000 miles on it when it got crashed (not my fault). I took it on a 4,000 mile cross country trip with over 300,000 miles showing...no problems what so ever. It was a great car that should have gone 500,000 miles easy.
