What to look for when buying a 2005 tdv6 hse

Hi there!

Looking to buy a sub £20K 2005 tdv6 hse with 108K on the clock.

Thanks in advance

Avoid the silver ones - I had one and it's out there somewhere!

Seriously on a RRS with that mileage it'll really be a bit of luck. Personally I would check for a service record and look at bodywork. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

What on bodywork? Damage? Rot?

Just to see if it's been cared for. There are many things that could be a problem with older cars but then again if the car has been looked after everything could be find. Gut instinct on these things helps. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Why do seatbelts need changing? Legality?
Why does AS comp need changing? Wear?
Cheers...
