Looking at buying a used D4 from a private seller. It has a LR warranty remaining, done 35k miles but seller tells me he has done probably 10k towing a caravan. Should I be concerned? Would that have a detrimental effect on the engine/transmission?

Everything else about the car sounds great, going for a viewing soon.

thanks gents. Owner has mentioned that the tow hitch has been looked at. It was the wear and tear I was a bit concerned about, thanks for the reassurance.

Dont know if he got that letter, but he said that it had been checked at last service. To be honest, I'm unlikely to be towing, so the tow hitch issue doesn't concern me too much, it was the potential of the towing miles.
