Two GS 450hs here, €5k each. Both due NCT in June so both are probably coming up to their tenth birthdays. The navy one has 234,000 km and the silver has 201,000 km. The navy seems to be some sort of trade sale and is missing a bit of rear trim on the door, the reg isn't shown either and there's no description in the ad. The silver is a private sale, looks a bit less suspect to me but who knows, says donedealing since 2008 so he's had no reason to change his number anyway. Checking the reg on the silver one gives no change of ownership in the last 3 months and NCT until May 22, so June isn't quite accurate.

That's a very conservative figure given that petrol prices were higher over the past few years.
But not 20 years ago

I would be asking why the engine and gearbox was replaced.
Engine is quite common, these suffered from Nikasil. As for why the gearbox needed to be changed, now that is very strange indeed at that kinda mileage. Question time it is so "Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

Makes sense to put in a complete unit if replacement has proven lower miles and history, and a good deal done with supplier,
Or faulty gearbox may have caused engine damage, at 5500 and 15 years old who gives a fec k,0
