I can't help but feel that if he'd gone for the 2009 with 100k he wouldn't have had the issues.

You can't put up with the car going into limp mode or errors comming up on the dash etc if you are doing 100 miles a day.

My Dad's Volvo which is about to go back is 4 years old with 105k on it and nothing mechanical has ever gone wrong. It still feels like new to drive too.

Does anyone else think that low mileage cars are false economy?

Trouble is you're looking at high mileage PUG's and Mondeos

Now you may get lucky with the mondy if you're carefull and get one with exemplary history, but the Pug......no fucking way would I look at a high miler, the only thing amazing would be the fact it got to high miles
