For the age 90K isn't particularly high but if it were me I would definitely plump for the lower mileage one.

Don’t be blinded by the chintz of the onyx car. They aren’t particulatly great quality conversions . All things being equal you’ve got to go for the lower mileage car. 2019 Svr and 2019 R35 GTR |

This one.
You're paying lots of money for a body kit and some bling. And you'll look like a chav driving around in it. Have you looked at many RRS up to this point? Go look at a few, drive them and get a feel for what the are like. At 55k miles there should be no knocks from the suspension, for example. 90k miles - if the suspension bushes are original then budget for new bushes soon. If they're both V6 diesels then check if the belts have been done. The 2010 should have been done as it's now 7+ years old. The 2011 will be due this year (7 years or 105k/112k miles depending on engine and whichever comes first - years or miles). A full and complete service history is essential. Any gaps or doubt about it then walk away. Many aren't serviced at the correct intervals - a 7 year old RRS should have 7 stamps in the book as servicing is 12months or 15/16k miles whichever comes first. Don't be blinded by bling. You'll regret it. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

Yeah i have been looking a while now, I'm basically sacrificing around 25-30k miles on the onyx for the others around the same price. A few people i know with RRS's have told me that the mileage isn't a worry if its looked after but i've never bought a car with over 10k on the clock so i'm wary!

Drive both for as long as you can and ideally more than once in different conditions/roads to get a real feel for them.
