Mini clubman one D go high miles or low mileage

[caterhamboy]

Hi,

I'm going to buy a mini clubman and have a few choices, do i

A: go with a 2011 with 76,000 for just over £7k ( mainly motorway i guess)

or

B: go with a 2011 with 32,000 for just over £9k

I believe its bmw's own 1.6 diesel engine in these from 2010, any known problems ?

Car will do about 9,000 miles a yr and we will keep it for about 4yrs.

My thoughts are go with high mileage car and hopefully not hit any major bills and not have to get much for it come resale.

Surely better off considering a petrol for 9k a year?

Agreed, but harder to get for some reason.

FWIW I've got a Mini Cooper D with the Bmw 112 bhp unit. Currently on 54k, around 24k of that in the past 12
Months. No issues apart from the stop start has stopped working. 68/69mpg of the last tank.
