How about this high mileage Toyota Corolla?

Hi, I'm looking at a Toyota Corolla 1.3 with 177,000 miles (about 285,000km) on the clock. Will the engine still do many more miles trouble free? Also what is the value of this car?

Should I change the tyres on a low mileage Range Rover Sport?

I've found a 2008 Ranger Rover Sport with just 16,000 miles (about 26,000km) on the clock. Is this good? Seems a bit too low. Will the tyres be ok if they have never been replaced? Would they be too old?

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.

With €20,000 what family car will we upgrade to?

We are upgrading our car as we have a baby with another on the way. My current car is an Audi A3 Sportback. What can you recommend? Our budget is about €20,000 including trade-in and we cover about 15,000 kilometres per year commuting.

What will I upgrade to from a Mazda MX-5?

 I'm currently driving a Mazda MX-5 and loving it. It makes me smile every time I drive it. But with the latest payrise I'm contemplating an upgrade. Is there anything that will give the same driving experience or at least very close to and also be faster? I'd be thinking of spending up to about €50,000, but can be less or slightly more if I feel it's worth it. And no, doesn't have to be brand new, but like the MX-5 I want that amazing driving feeling and something that's reliable (or bulletproof as the MX-5 is).
