Thinking of buying a high-mileage Mondeo.

Thinking of purchasing an 09 Ford Mondeo diesel diesel with 184,000km on the clock. Should I be worried about the mileage? Is there a better saloon car that you would recommend for long distance driving?

Mad to buy a high-mileage Nissan Navara?

Hi there,

I'm hoping to bid at auction on a 2006 Nissan Navara with 300,000km on the clock. I have been to see the car. Starts on the first turn, engine sounds great and everything works as it should as far as I can tell (I'm not a mechanic). No warning lights on start up. I guess I'm asking if I'm mad to buy with such high mileage?

Thanks

Is mileage a problem for a 141 Ford Mondeo?

I am looking at buying a second hand Ford Mondeo from a dealer. I have seen a 141 1.6 TDCi Zetec and the mileage is 65,000 miles (104,000km). Should I be concerned about this high mileage as it's only two years old?

How best to check over a second hand car?

What second hand car check options are there? The AA has a physical car check facility for €260 but are there any others to choose from and are they good? I have seen a few online car checkers but they don't seem to do a physical inspection only a paper trail.

Thanks again in advance.
