All small block Ecotec's of the X series (X14XE in this case) smoke after
90k. Rings wear and valve stem oil seals go west. Will probably keep running for a while, but will go through catalysts and O2 sensors like they're going out of fashion.Personally, I'd avoid. Either that or try get it for 700 quid so you can budget for a rebuild on the engine.
Not that it matters, but so does the C16XE pre-Ecotec engine.
