Low Mileage car

[Jos Notstoppen]

I have a chance to buy a very low mileage car. It is 10 years old but only covered 12,000 miles. There is no known service history, the reason it is for sale is due to the passing away of the previous owner so any service knowledge departed with him.

Would this be a good buy or not? Any tips on what to look for?

Price wanted by the estate is above average for this performance model and year, they say it is due to the low mileage.

I intend keeping the car for some time and so not overly concerned about resale values.
The car is is fantastic condition (no dents, scratches etc. that often come with normal 10 years old cars). Plus it is quite high spec, most of the extra boxes were ticked.
