High mileage cars for sale

[Fun Bus]

So we can assume in order for the car to pass it's MOT it was either bodged or someone spent a load of cash on it?

But re tested the same day with no extra mileage, so bodge or easy fix?

Less than 10k for a one lady owner targa 996?

EDIT: The MOT history suggests it 133k miles in 2010, 31k in 2011 and 170k in 2012. Odd.

Also, the reasons for failure in 2016...how do you fail for so many easy to fix things!

Something like an intercooler pipe that's split will cause smoke. Easy to fit one and re-test in a day.

It's very easy to fix the emissions if there is a 1.0 Micra on the ramp next to the test bay .

The online MOT should give the readings as well as the result to prevent this bdodge

It might not be high for it's age but for a ferrai i'd consider it rather high.

Not your typical high mileage shed!!

There's a big back story to that car I reckon - last MOT'd at 146,000km/91k miles in 2014. Advert states it's a 635CSi and a 2.8.

I also think it's one for the overpriced cars thread.

Looking at the speedo, that's probably in kilometres.

What do you think the running costs have been on that ?! How many engine rebuilds ?

Laughed at that - when did original cam belt become a selling point?!

If that was correct & not a typo, I can't think of any car I'd rather not do 165k miles in!

This has done some serious mileage for a V8! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
