I would, it's unwise to overfill oil, a mil or so is ok but what you indicated I would definitely draw some out.

Had ours nearly 8 years, service it every year and she's on 200k. Still drives well, wouldn't part with it. If they have been looked after you can't go wrong. Check through all the threads, water ingress through the pollen filter is worth a read.

We still have ours. It's an 04 1.9 manual and has climbed her way to 175 thousand miles. Usual repairs and service items but otherwise she soldiers on. Just back from the Lakes and frankly I wouldn't of wanted to drive anything else. As you say virtually worthless these days but with regularly servicing I don't see why I can't double the mileage. Everything is still stock, I had planned on uprating the suspension but didn't bother in the end deciding to do it when everything is worn, but it's still as tight as drum and still lusty when you you plant the foot. It will do for me, so there is at least two still about.🙂
