Pair of 200k Toledos

2014s, so about 40k a year each, not bad going!

Edit: even more, 206k on a 2016!

Only about 35 of these Toledos on ebay (didn't realise they did another generation) and a lot of them seem to be on moon miles.

[footnote]
I’m pretty sure they used to be owned by a large Nottingham coach company.

There was a Skoda Rapid owned by a coach company (possibly the same one) that racked up more than 400k in two years. Was advertised with number plates blanked out, so wouldn't surprise me if it lost a few hundred thousand miles before the first MOT because it looked quite tidy too.

That entire advert is bunk.

"BEST RED COLOUR" Wrong.

"BODY IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION...DOES HAVE MINOR SCRACTS AGE RELATED" Front looks like its been pelted with frozen sausages and then sandblasted.

"BOTH ENGINE&GEAR BOX ARE SMOOTH AND EXTREMELY POWERFULL" I can't argue with that, must be down to the colour.

"DESCRIPTION MAY VARY" ...I am filled with shame and remorse.
Looks like one or two of the frozen sausages could have gone down the gap between the nearside headlight and the wing.

What a turd.

The add says

‘RateRS1’ and ‘addition’ - probably can’t add or spell.

Not particularly high tbh. Only around 14k a year which is just above average.

Sorry but I have to agree, 74k miles on a 2013 car is about what I'd expect really, if a little higher than average. My 2017 car is about to hit 60k miles, I'd say that's above average rather than high too.
If a high mileage A1 is what you're after, I think this fits the bill, 2015 with 190k miles

From the advert:

"TEST DRIVE BEFORE YOU BUY,"

An invitation, or a warning?

Something in me (insanity?) loves to see unreasonable numbers on the odometer.

Mondeo photos all conveniently positioned to not give the reg away, so you can't check the MOT history. I would guess that thing is ready for scrap.

YH60 LMV is the reg. To be fair the mot history looks pretty clean considering.

Clean because it's been looked after or clean because his mate, Dodgy Dave, slapped it through every year? Must be pretty well looked after to get to 400k, especially being a Ford diesel.
