Car prices are ridiculous right now.Hi,
Trekking twinair 2013 @130000 miles .£2200
Any petrol engine with high mileage raises my eyebrows a little. But a lot depends on service history, and applying the 'trigger broom logic'. "25 year old brush, it's had 6 new heads and 3 new handles" it could be 130k with a nearly new engine thanks to it all being replaced.Any views on the mileage for problems ?
If it's in your budget, and you enjoy tinkering, why not! :-DWorth considering ?
Thanks
I'd be careful of a little two cylinder at that mileage. Have seen plenty with head gasket or actuator issues. Sure, they may have been neglected but having seen the work those engines have to do, I wouldn't expect one to go very far. 130k miles is definitely very impressive. Have seen several on Copart with 70k> miles and buggered engines . It's the same story with Ford's EcoBoost 3cyl. Some make it to impressive mileages while some die early.Hi,

Any views on the mileage for problems ? How is the reliability of the twinair at these mileages?
Have sent some questions regarding service history.
Worth considering ?
Thanks
Unless someone corrects me - I'm pretty sure this is a good old fashioned friction clutch.Thanks for the replys still getting more info.
I would hope the clutch has been replaced (does if have dmf ?)
Thanks for the replys
I guess that shows the value of rarity? The Trekking version of the Panda (with the TractionPlus off road grip control and raised body of the 4x4s, but without the extra weight and complexity of full four wheel drive) was not a big seller, but gained a good reputation for being 'nearly' as good as a 4x4 in all but the worst conditions....
8 years ago a 40k twinair was worth @£3500.. daft isnt it
Good call looking into this - it's quite telling to me. The previous owner has committed cardinal sins.I think its not worth the price having looked at the old MOTs.
MOT history bad points
Both of the above, especially the oil, is lack of care - especially the oil - either not serviced, or leaking.
- 2021 Front Lower Cab or chassis corroded within 30cm of a mounting, but not seriously affecting overall security (6.2.2 (d) (i))
- 2018@95000mls -no oil on dipstick top up 1ltr
Tyres. Reminds me of my younger, more skint days.
- Few other worn shocks worn tyres but just advisories.
