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?

Hi Enda,

I wouldn't be massively worried about the mileage so long as you're not planning on putting up huge mileage yourself. Buy on condition and history. If you have any suspicions that it might have been a taxi have it checked on Cartell.ie.

As to the value, it won't be worth a lot at that mileage - and don't expect to sell it on for much when you're finished with it - but we can't value it without knowing its condition and year.

Let me know how you get on.
