Should I buy a used Hyundai i20?

A private seller is offering a 2009 Hyundai i20 classic, one lady owner, FSH, taxed and MoT'd for six months with 40,000 on the clock. Is this a good buy for £2800 and what should I look out for?

Basic car, and now out of warranty. Looks reasonably priced according to this: www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/Hyundai/i20/2009/.../ No timing belt to worry about. Problem areas here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/hyundai/i20-2009/?se...d
