High mileage cars for sale

Just run in that for what I believe is a Renault Diesel engine...£3k is a little excessive also, what do you actually get for that on a Dacia?
They’re about £10k new I think - the Diesel engine adds a fair bit to the price from the base one. Does seem a little salty for the miles but not hugely so.
It’ll have CL, EW, DAB radio and stuff being an Ambiance.

Holy oh f
k! It was registered 05/03/17 thats done 413 miles every day for 7 days a week until today. That has to be a thread record? If on Skoda's fixed servicing it would have needed a service every 24 days and 40 times in total.More frustratingly, I've been trying to sell a 2015 immaculate 30k miles high spec Rapid for £7250 for a few weeks and not a single punter has been to view, its going to the trade tomorrow, but heres the ad for comparison https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-Skoda-Rapid-Spaceb...
I think £5k for the mega miles base spec hatch is dreaming, surely its worth £2k - £3k at a push?

I bet just about every 'below average mileage' commercial van that you see for sale or private buyers buying has been clocked.
No one buys a commercial van and does a few thousand a year yet the classifieds are littered with average milers.
I don't think you're that far wrong. When I was looking there were endless low mileage vans, nearly all of them shagged. Ended up going for one with above average miles, but the only one with a complete service history and the only one in decent condition!

t, but you can find vans that have done very little mileage - typically company-owned. I have some builders round doing some work outside and as I was telling the guys where to park, I noticed that their 2008 Fiat Doblo has about 65k on it - which isn't a lot over 10 years. That said, they only ever drive around the local area so they can't be doing too many miles.We have a couple of vans at work that only ever do trips of 2-3 miles in one shot, amusingly the longest drive the vans get is to the local Tesco when they need refuelling. Our 2015 van is on about 6k, our 2012 van has been travelling a bit more and is on 35k.
Appreciate these are isolated incidents but for every hundred vans for sale that have genuinely covered 100k+, there's bound to be one or two that have only covered a third of that.
Gently run in 500 SEC anyone? Looks like it's done 1/10th of the miles (kilometers...).
Closing in on 400,000 miles!

This is looking pretty sharp for 200k miles, only seems like yesterday that the Mk7 GTD went on sale!

It depends. No one buys a delivery van to do low miles, but plenty of people buy vans to do low miles. There are plenty of tradesmen who barely leave one town who use the van to carry equipment and materials but rarely travel more than five miles in one go.No one buys a commercial van and does a few thousand a year yet the classifieds are littered with average milers.
I bought a ten year old VW Caddy a while ago with 41k miles (genuine)

It only moves at the weekend when he loads his mountain bikes in it and heads off to the local forest trails
I can’t think it’s done many miles at all

This was for sale locally private for about £600 but has been bought by a trader. It’s a locally registered car so I presume it’s spent it’s entire life on the Isle of Wight, how it’s managed 185’000 miles I don’t know.

Looks like it did 67,000 of those in its first three years! Considering the Flying Spur does around 14mpg, in its lifetime that car has probably used more than £60,000 of super-unleaded!

6k a year in Petrol.
Or about 2/3 of the cost of depreciation per year

That’s a lot of mileage for a relatively new Golf. I’m impressed. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...
Not sure it’s worth £8k though.
