I had a '99 Punto on 69k, nothing but trouble. My friend had a '02 Punto on 80k, again nothing but trouble.

Get the Zetec S.
Depending on the actual engine in it, check the oil and make sure not low. I think on an X it will have the older Zetec engine which tends to like oil, as my misses found out on her 1.4 16v.
FSH etc etc should be good enough though.

Get ready to ROFLCOPTER
I have just bought a Taxi 
Friend of mine buys a few cars from auction and punts them on.
On the way is an 53 Passat TDi 115
Was a deal, steal sale of the fucking century type thing so snapped it up 
I will be Abdhul doing taxi runs on a sat night.
Gives me something that's a bit more versatile whilst the Scoob is laid up having its rebuild.
