if serviced and looked after they can clock up near on 200k with ease.

mines just had a new turbo as the seals were starting to weep and it was getting smokey, maybe i was in the right place at the right time as i got it thru a friend.

even came with a spare set of steel wheels with off road tyres, tow bar, roof bars, brand new head unit and 12 months MOT. fits the quota perfectly for what i need it for.
