Should I be worried about high mileage on a Citroen Berlingo?
I am thinking of getting a 2010 Citroen Berlingo Multispace, but it has 94,000km on clock and it's €6,495. I'm worried about the mileage.

Is this Ford Mondeo worth going for?
Hi, I've been looking for a 2010 Mondeo recently as family car and have come across a facelifted 2010 2.0 TDCi Zetec model with all the spec I could want for €11,500. It's really nice. However it has 100,000 miles on the clock and is a former fleet car. The garage was very up front about this and has proof of full service history. Plus he is willing to give a six-month warranty. Do you think 100k is way too much? Should I walk away and look for something with lower mileage?
Thanks

Is this Mondeo worth considering?
Is the mileage too high on this car? It is an imported 2012 (registered 21/5/12) 2.0 136hp Ford Mondeo Zetec hatchback with nearly 53,000 kilometres on the clock. Is it worth considering?

Should I tell buyers my car's mileage is higher?
Hi there - I have a query regarding selling my car. A year ago I bought a 2002 Ford Focus from my brother, as he couldn't afford to keep two cars on the road. It was in great running order; however the instrument panel was not working, so the speedometer, odometer all the gauges etc wouldn't work. My brother sourced a second hand instrument cluster and had it fitted, and everything worked perfect EXCEPT, the mileage had gone from approx 90,000 to 70,000, as that was the mileage on the second hand cluster. My problem is now I want to sell on the Focus, and I don't know how to approach the mileage issue with potential buyers. Obviously it wasn't my intention to clock the car, it just turned out that way - any suggestions?

Is this high mileage Nissan Qashqai a risk?
Hi, I am thinking of buying a 2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6 petrol with 231,625km on the clock. It has one owner. Is this to much mileage on a car? It comes with full service history and an NCT until 2015.
Thanking you, Eric.

Should I worry about an ex-hire car?
I am looking to buy a second hand Opel Zafira. I came close to buying a 2008 model, but at the last minute found out it was ex-hire. The mileage was 66,500 kilometres and it seemed to be in very good condition. Should I be wary about the fact that it was a hire car? Should I trust the mileage?
