Mine doesn't leak, not sure if previous owner had the seals sorted, but certainly ok, as is the wifes Tolly, but my old tdi tolly did, well, it was damp in the footwell when I bought it, but I never saw it leak, I did cut the base of the drivers door though, and never had it leak once.
I bought my 2002 V5 late Feb, paid £200 + Vectra dti SRI, has 120,000 but is mint, body all tidy, wheels clean, and FSH, no rattles, carpet all tidy and clean, in fact everything flawless, my only grip is my average 26mpg, but then I do commute into London on the M4, and a good 5 miles is often in stop start, or just stop, traffic. So I don't know if it is good or bad. But then I don't get more than on a run either, last Wednesday morning (3am) from Gatwick to Heathrow I still only averaged 27mpg. So sounds like you have a minter engine, with a few interior issues.
