Cant see it being a problem if it is serviced properly. Resale value might not be as much though

i brought mine for £6,500 with 52k on the clock i recently got my car re-valued at another dealership they wanted £5000 for it.

which isn't bad off, just keep it in excellent condition service it regularly keep on top of things.

my mate sold his MR2 last year for £6,000 it's got 89k on the clock but the car is in pristine condition like no other paint work is just brilliant.

Prices took a major dive a few months after i bought mine, i think id be lucky to get about £6000 for mine now. I think if you have servicing done properly then you shouldnt have a problem with the engine itself although the resale value will be lower than that of a car with average miles on it ( 12,500 miles per year )

As people have said mate keep the servicing done and fix any bits that come up and the car will be fine! You'll just take a hit on resale value as any high mileage driver does. I think I was quite lucky only paying £5600 for my 57 plate with 26k miles as I do less than 5k a year and was offered £6.6k as a trade in for it already. (Don't worry it was for a Focus )

Seeing as average mileage is now considered 12-15,000 a year, don't think it would be a problem
