    Servicing and general condition of the car are far more important than mileage to me anyway!

    If it's been abused, run a mile. If the car was genuinely looked after, then there is no reason why you shouldn't get another 160,000 km out of it.

    Irish people have this (IMO) stupid fear that anything with 100,000 miles (160k km) will automatically explode - the said people who think this are the same idiots who only service cars "to get it through the NCT" rather than when it actually needs to be serviced as per the manufacturers recommendations!

    The one thing to watch for with that shape S40 is the ESP and ABS module - it fails quite often in them and is very expensive (> 1k) to fix.

    Note the towbar , some say that indicates a car best avoided.
