MOT history backs up the mileage.

Certainly looks to be been cared for, it's tidy (from the pictures) and seems to have a lot of history.

Fair play to the previous owners. So many people would have given up on running it at way less miles than that.

That doesn't stack up to me. I think there's a typo in there.

I think it's mental money then. I'd rather have a lower mileage and older car.

£54k gets you a 21k, 14 plate example.

Who, in their right mind would pay >£50k for a car that's done 65,000miles in a year?

65,000 miles in a year is ok if all you do for a job is drive, but whoever drove this had a real job as well. It can't have got to this mileage this fast without being seriously hammered on the twisties driving.

You say that, but at that mileage it'll be predominantly motorway work.

I know of a new Alpina B7 which went on the road the other day and that'll see 30k a year of motorways.

those miles are nuts. I wonder what things like their average speed was? hours travelled per day etc...

There's a world of difference between 30k pa and 65k pa. It's not so much double the mileage.

If the guy works 10 hours per day (and drives 6 hours per day) and does 300 days per year, that's 1800 hours = 36 mph average.

Just try to average 36 mph for a week and you will know how hard you have to drive to do it.

30k pa would be 16mph.

Of course, he may have lived a mile off the M1 in London, never hit traffic and worked a mile off the M6 in Birmingham wink.

It's 18 months old.

So 43k miles a year

I can do more than that going round bca sites sadly not in an rs6

800 miles a week is just a busy sales rep

It's like going from London to Preston on Monday then visiting multiple sites around nw then going back to London at end of week.

The only reason I had any doubts was because of the price of the RS6.
