As my other post will imply I am considering a used RRS (preferably a TDV8) being based in Scotland it would appear that these vehicles are more expensive like for like compared to south of the boarder. This makes choosing difficult because you have to weigh up the saving against the cost of travel/transport if I go down south.

With that in mind I have spotted this one. It looks great because its unique and more importantly my better half likes it too. Only probem is its done 121kmiles, which seems a lot. But it does apparently have full service history and does appear, at least from the pictures, to have been looked after.

My point is, at what point does it become too many miles regardless of service history. I have seen these RRS with 160k evn more.

Thoughts ...?

It looks to be sat a bit odd? The rear looks to high compared to the front. If you have a look at it, have a good play with the suspension. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

thats funny, I also wondered that, but wasnt sure if it was just my imagination. I cant decide if the rear is too high or the front has collapsed .

Would it show an error code if there was a leak in the system?

I tried to check the mot history for you on the DVLA website but the registration does not come up. That may be because the vehicle has had a personal number removed and not been formally reregistered yet but it’s something else to check. Strangely enough, the registration that appears on the car (SX56AVN) is a Scottish registration (Inverness). Current: 2020 P400e HSE Dynamic

Gone: 2016 SDV6 HSE
2012 SDV6 SE

I hate when that happens, always makes me suspicious when looking at cars and the reg comes back unknown!

It passed its mot on 7 feb this year with a couple of advisory's mileage 120194

kind of to be expected given the age and miles. I think its really too high mileage for what I what, its going to be used daily as my daily driver for getting to/from work but also the family car for holidays and such. So obviously looking for the lowest mileage I can afford. But just curious to see peoples opinions of where the amount you save for higher mileage is not worth it. I have been looking for example around 60-70k but there are some that look just as well kept at 100k.

What is your budget?

Probably around £10k, give or take. It is dependant on a few things coming through. So its just speculative looking at the moment to get an idea what is about for the money.

Is it a resprayed car or a wrap, either could be hiding something as Monte Carlo Blue was never available on an RRS. Hope it isn’t a repaired crashed car....... out could have a Full Fat in that blue up to 2004 as I had one, but never an RRS or Discovery 3. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I thought it looked a bit matt.

Could be estoril, which would mean its had a wrap or respray. As Tim has already said, Monte Carlo wasn’t an option.

Also, there is no such thing as too many miles. We regularly do 300k in the 3.0 version without issue. It’s all about the type of use (which isn’t as easy to Check) and levels of servicing; all the cars that get to very high miles have done so with good oil and regular changes.
