How does this Volkswagen Polo look?

The question
I'm looking at a 2002 Volkswagen Polo diesel (priced at €2,400). It looks good but can you tell me is 214,000 kilometres around average for a 10-year-old car? What is maximum mileage on average for a diesel Polo?

Hi Jonathan,
We wouldn't ever put a maximum mileage on a car, but the value drops significantly on a small car with in excess of 200,000 kilometres. That mileage is a little high for a car of that size and age - against the average. That's not to say it isn't a good car, but carefully consider your alternatives. The price seems acceptable given all that, assuming it's in otherwise good condition and has been maintained properly.
Hope that helps
