Hi, I'm a ford mechanic and a recently bought a 04 mk2 for 11,900 with the usual leather, dual zone climate and premium sound. A few things I have noticed are the front pads tend to rattle over bumps but I'm sure revised pad slides are out. You will more than likely have a power steering leak either from the high pressure hose or front pump seal - nothing to drastic. Brake shudder is common. Diff bush's in the BA are much tougher then BF but still do wear out but not as quick. Also noticed with auto's the fuel return line rub's through on the auto selector cable... surprised no recall has been issued :|. Bonnet cable's tend to snap but a revised cable is out and sometimes break the fusebox. Sorry about the long post just a few things to look out for nothing that is going to cost an arm or a leg
