Its only got 15,000 miles on it with full main dealer service history. That's why its so expensive.

Is it worth it? Well that's up to you. If you plan on buying a car to keep long term and ULEZ or clean air zones aren't in place where you live, then it could be a very good buy. Yes its expensive, but a car like that would last for many years with maintenance. Next year, its due the big cam belt service (even though it hasn't done the mileage, it still needs replacing at 10 years old because rubber degrades).

For me personally, I wouldn't buy it. Its still a 9 year old car and its not even a euro 6. I wouldn't pay that money for a euro 5.

Lovely car.Those wheels really suit it,and it's got the Polestar upgrade which takes it up to 230bhp.

Still seems overpriced though.

I agree with the two earlier posters.

Where I may differ slightly is that a low mileage, especially on a Diesel, is not necessarily an advantage.

15,000 over 9 years ls around 32 miles a week. If that equates to 3 trips to the supermarket 5 miles away, the engine has never been allowed to get warm!

I would look more favourably on a car with 10 times the mileage with a good history at a sensible price.

Regards, John.

Something tells me the mileage may not be correct 3 owners ? what's to say the 1st owner in the 3 years it didn't have its MOT done hasn't been clocked before it first registers the mileage on the 3rd year on it 1st MOT
