Mileage has nothing to do with a cars condition.

There's people on here with 350,000 on the clock on the original IMS bearing. I'd much rather have a car with 100,000 on the clock which has been looked after, as opposed to one that hasn't with half the mileage.

Mileage does not mean a car is in decent nick. There are plenty of examples I could show you of low mileage cars being written off due to neglect.

Just avoid any with issues and keep looking. Don't bother buying this one.
