That's been on here a few weeks back. Interesting MOT history detailing an engine misfire too, if I recall correctly. Can't think of a worse car to do almost 50k miles a year in!
ETA: As per the above, my July 2015 Aygo has done just shy of 48000 miles and, personally, I don't think it was a bad choice for doing the miles. I imagine that Up! was most likely a driving school car.

I'm aware of what these cars are good at, hence I am looking for one for my girlfriend to replace her 15 year old Yaris, not slagging off the car at all. And fair enough if it's been a driving school car but if someones done 50k miles a year on the motorway in it, I think they are possibly insane.It does the job

After borrowing a manager at work's Golf GTD, I absolutely love adapative cruise control and wouldn't mind one myself. Seen a few diesel Golfs within my budget with ACC and over 100k miles, would I be mad to consider getting one of these?

Don't these cars need a timing belt change every 30k?
No they are supposed to have a lifetime cambelt in that generation engine.Ste1987 said:

That's exactly the reason I got my GTD DSG! It's June 2015 and just hit 35k miles today, got it for a long commute and it's been perfect. Feels like they are built to do the miles and happy just sitting on the motorway all day so I wouldn't have too many worries with one on 100k. Previous to the GTD I had a 2011 Mk6 which was on 105k miles when I sold it last year - but obviously didn't have ACC!http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-BMW-MINI-COOPER-S-G...
I'm half tempted by this. Then I saw the bill headed 'timing chain failure' - looks like it had a new chain and HG - is it likely to ever run right again?

Read the P Norman receipt and then ask yourself the same question!!!I'm half tempted by this. Then I saw the bill headed 'timing chain failure' - looks like it had a new chain and HG - is it likely to ever run right again?
I suspect that if Mr Horton was the owner at the time, he will be too embarrassed to tell you the story

3 cylinder getting to 150k miles is coming near the end. The amount of wear on those cylinders must be massive

It'll be a miracle if that makes it another few thousand miles without going to the great breakers yard in the sky.

Why so? If it had 6 cylinders would it have half the wear on it? 3 cylinder getting to 150k miles is coming near the end. The amount of wear on those cylinders must be massive
I would expect that VW put that engine through all of the same duty cycle testing they put all of their other engines through. Besides, it's only a little car, it's not like they put it in a Phaeton and it's been having it's neck rung everytime it so much as went to the shops.
