Aside from battery degradation & being close to the battery warranty any major considerations?

Any votes of confidence or experience of buying/having one with high mileage?

Cheers

Danzelp. I can't message you back as your PH account is set no to receive message but the one you sent me is well priced for sure.

It did have an MOT Oct 21 @ 62134 miles then another April 21 @ 92273 miles and another Oct 22 @ 116689 miles. To me that April one I can only see that a dealer may have had it and wanted to sell it with 12 months on it. All of them passed.

Its probably worth doing a car check using an app like carvertical just in case but the only red flags for me are that the seller is private, it's owing finance and the seller has hidden their number on Autotrader. Worth treading carefully. If anything the price seems a little low for a 20 plate LR Dual Motor even with the high miles.

Drivers seat looks well used, the rest look brand new so I don't suspect its been a taxi or such.

I won't post up a link so the PH vultures don't swoop in before you but maybe you could once you've been for a look or buy it.

Nearly 60k miles added in a year is going some!
Really appreciate this buddy, will take a look

Thanks for all the considerations. Withdrawn interest from that one and increased my budget. Frustratingly just missed out on one with 17k miles for just 5k more..
