Any thoughts guys? Seeing it late morning.
This sort of hyper low mileage car is hard to value - everything depends on condition & history. You'll be paying a phenomenal premium over a car with normal miles (see
this link) & need to be sure you're gettting real value for the extra ££££. It's a 20k car but it's also a 6 yr old car; you need to work out which of these two descriptions most accurately fits it, so inspect very, very carefully & just walk away if you see anything you don't like the look of.
For me, the warning sign is the badge change; the kind of previous owner I'd have wanted it to have probably wouldn't have done such a thing out of choice. It could have been the result of a prang, so look more carefully than usual for any sign of accident repairs.
However, if it's a genuine one-owner car that's in the condition you'd expect for the mileage rather than the year, it could be worth paying the premium.
Remember that a service history is more than just stamps in a book; to have a proper fsh, the car must also have the receipts showing exactly what was done.
Based on time, it will need a cambelt change; evidence of that being done recently would show the car had been properly looked after; otherwise budget for doing that before driving it very far or very hard.
One word of warning - with a few more miles and another owner, it'll lose quite a bit of that low-mileage premium, so this is probably only worth buying if you plan on keeping it for a while.
