Hi,
Can I please ask a question regarding a 2009 Nissan Qashqai 1.5 diesel we are considering buying. We are asked for €10,000 for it and it has only 62,000 miles on the clock and I'm just wondering if that can be correct. Can you tell me what questions should I be asking the garage? And when does the timing belt need to be changed? Just worried; it's such a lovely car, am I missing something?
Thanks Marie
Have a deposit on a car. Some of the LCD lines on its odometer are broken, and you can barely make out mileage. Will it fail its NCT?
Hi,
I have a January 2015 BMW X5 25d bought new with now 70,000km on it. I had planned to keep it four years, but at the rate I am putting up the kms I am worried dealers will tell me it has too high a mileage at probably 150,000km to be worth much on trade. I know some main dealers don't like higher mileage premium stock. Would I be better if I was going for something similar to trade in when the car is relatively younger or do you think it won't make much difference?
I own a new Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 diesel. Can I expect to exceed 200,000km if I take care of it? Or must I admit to lower mileage lifespan?
Thanks

We are interested in a 2014 Volkswagen Passat Saloon 1.6 TDI Executive BlueMotion from Belfast. The speedometer is in mph only, we need it in km; can this be changed digitally on this car, or what can be done?
Thanks.
Is 120,000 miles a lot for a 2012 Ford Mondeo 1.6 diesel? Or any diesel car with mileage like that?
