Thats still not 300k...
Obviously theres exceptions.........but in my case, any car I get WILL have a common fault after a few months.........so I have to try and find ones with less common faults to start with!
But again....its the age that puts me off. My silver golf (51 plate) had 140k on it, and was still in almost perfect condition underneath, as was the blue one (52 plate) with 136k. My 106 (S plate) had 114k, and the 306 (X plate) has only 108k, both of those were/are in so much worse condition underneath, rust everywhere, siezed parts, plugs held together with cables and tape, deteriorated rubber on hoses and stuff. On top they dont look too bad.....I was genuinely shocked looking underneath, especially the 106!!
