Seems like a typo for a 2 year old car but it's in pretty bad condition, if about £9000 too much.

Hey guys. I love this thread, and I thought I'd share something.
This came into my work recently as a Part exchange. 2014 Peugeot 208 with over 100k on it. 50k a year is pretty good going. As you can imagine, it was an ex learner vehicle. Another thing to note, It never had a service. We gave the owner £2000 for it. Body work was very clean.

If that's a DV6 (which I suspect it is) then no service in 100k and for it to still be alive is A/ a miracle and B/ a ticking time bomb!This came into my work recently as a Part exchange. 2014 Peugeot 208 with over 100k on it. 50k a year is pretty good going.

Well, the owner claimed he has serviced it himself, however being in the trade, I never believe people who give me that story unless they have receipts for all of the parts. This guy conveniently didn't have them!
We all know what's going to happen to the car. It will get sent to Auction, picked up and clocked by someone and given a fake service history. Only being two year old, someone will take that back to 50k or so, and it would pass for it. The car was in a decent condition.
Once I know how much it made at auction, I will let you all know. I anticipate it will make £2500.

I had a Ford Escort 1.8TD as a new company car back in '97.
I did 104,000 miles in about 18 months, and the car had fsh exactly as per the schedule.
But it was still a dog of a car, regularly failing to start, many new parts under warranty etc.
I bought it from the lease co and sold it a couple of months later with reams of paperwork in the history.
Just did a check on the registration and it was last MOT'd in 2009 with 56,000 miles on the clock.
I wonder how many miles it had really covered!

I have posted about my old 2006 BMW 320cd on here in the past, i sold it about 18 month ago with about 210k. I have just run an MOT check on it, GJ06 FWS and it looks as though it is now showing 160k
Surely there was astep back on mileage at some point that's obvious? Saying that if it was sold by 'refused credit'? You ain't the type to check things..Big-Nick93 said:

Didn't the old owner fill in the V5 form with the miles? I always do this thus preventing any chance of clocking. We all know what's going to happen to the car.

Can you please do this to ensure no innocent is ripped off.

the guy must have been really pleased that he got £2000 for a £4500-£5000 car?

Can you let us know what auction it is going into? My other half needs a new beater to run into the ground and she quite likes the 208's but I had discounted them due to purchase price but an estimated £2500 sounds not too bad.The car will be going through Manheim Auctions in the next few weeks. Not sure as to what date etc. The car is still in our compound waiting to be sent off.
As to the V5 and marking the mileage, I believe all the docs have been sent away, so I can't do anything. Also, the new owner can just get a fresh V5 anyway and hide the real mileage.
£2000 for that car was a bit of a steal, however who in gods name will pay £4000-£5000 for a car with 100k and no history? It hasn't even had the coil pack recall.
I make 10% of what that car fetches at auction. I also lose 10% if it's under the evaluation. I was only prepared to go to £2000. The last learner car I had was a DS3 in cracking condition with FDSH, I paid £4500 for it, and it tanked at £3900. Learner cars get seriously marked down when they go through the ring.
