Just goes to show that if you allow the engine to warm up and cool down properly and stick to a strict maintenance schedule there is no reason they a car shouldn't last 200k+

TBF, could have had a new engine and gearbox. If not, I'd be wanting it for a lot less than £4.3k.

Why?
Surely if anything it shows the car has been really well cared for.
My old TDI I sold for nearly £7k. For a 2004, 1.9 TDI. It had done 148k when I sold it!
For some people the high miles is actually peace of mind!

I've said it all along, why are people worrying when they hit 100k miles
Modern engines should do 300+k miles providing serviced properly

Miles is just a number so people can try get cars cheaper. It's only a number and like I always say why own a car if your never going to drive and enjoy it
