Motability car - thoughts?

Peig Sayers

151 Renault Capture, 75,000km. Was a Northern Ireland car under the motability scheme. Have seen the service history. Had brake pads replaced in Nov 17 due to the recall of this model. It's an automatic.
Comes with six months warranty.

Worried about the high mileage. It's a lot for a three year old car. Thoughts?

When did 14 thousand miles a year become high mileage?

I thought 16,000 km was about average per year? It's a good 25,000 over that figure.

25000 km per year is about 15000 miles, that's not high mileage.

I bought and sold tons of motability cars, always get a decent service history and decent spec cars. Wouldnt have an issue myself and that mileage is not high

Let's see what google says: www.google.ie/search?q=average+mileage+ireland

From cartell

In 2005 the average annual mileage of all cars was 16,894 kilometres (10,498 miles) per car. Petrol cars were found to have an average annual mileage of 15,969 kilometres (9,923 miles) Diesel cars, as would be expected, had a higher figure of 23,817 kilometres (14,799 miles)

This is a while ago but probably hasn't changed that much.

Motability users get their cars serviced for free so the car should be well maintained.
