But god I feel sorry for the people who did such mundane miles in a s
tbox like this.
Why?tbox like this. Comfortable, quiet, enough poke about it for motorway use - seems perfect for the kind of driving it'll have been used for to me

I'm puzzled as to why the rust wouldn't have been fixed by the anti-corrosion warranty 
Seems bizarre for what's still a relatively new-ish car
Doesn't cover damage through accident/negligence though as per the post above.Seems bizarre for what's still a relatively new-ish car
Still can't believe what a pile of s
t that thing is for it's age.They've recently upped the minicab maximum car age in Bradford to 10 years so it defies sense to sell it unless there is a fault developing on it, surely better to keep going until its 10th birthday or until it dies. Also, If it was any good it would be sold within the community, not on AT. There's no shortage of taxi drivers around there.

Bradford dealer doesn't mean it was sourced from Bradford.TeaNoSugar said:
Has this one been listed yet? Volvo V70 with 456,000 miles on the clock. I checked back a few pages but couldn't see it. Doesn't look too bad considering the mileage. Nearly 70,000 per year.

While I'm here, what's the general consensus on a 100k+ mile V70 D5 for using as a mile-munching work vehicle/ general load lugger/family car?
I think this wagon would be a good buy, my V70 is coming up to 150K and feels like it will be around for many miles yet, at £1850 its throw away money when you look at what you lose on the purchase of normal day to day carsttp://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/20141...

That looks excellent, these really seem like they're built to take the distance. On a couple of airport runs last week I was taken in two E220s, one was a 64 plate (already on over 20k miles!), and the other was a 62 plate on over 150k miles. They were literally indistinguishable from each other, save for the older one running larger wheels so the ride wasn't quite as good. Extremely impressive. 
That should be an E46? Mine is on 132k and another PHer has one on over 150k. Both 6 pots though.
Watch for suspension clonks etc, and check for rust. The front wings will probably be bubbling a bit but I wouldn't be too fussed about that.
Mine has been great, had it almost 3 years and it has given minimum trouble. If it's good then I would probably take a punt on it. Let us know how you get on

That Prius is bloody horrible 
Taken my 328i from 134k to 154k and it's been excellent. This really is no miles at all for an E46, the only things to look out for are, as Bork rightly says, abnormal suspension knocks or a vagueness about the steering (indicates worn control arm bushes), and arch rust. Don't worry too much about small under-paint bubbles, mine had little areas like that when I bought it and they haven't developed in two and a half years.
If the dampers are original, they might be getting a bit worn by that mileage, mine feel not quite perfect but this may be the stark contrast from my super-stiff E36 track car! Cooling systems a little suspect so see if there's any history for recent thermostat, water pump and radiator replacements. Not expensive or difficult things to do as preventative maintenance, though, so not a deal breaker. If it's tidy, it's a lot of car for £750!
