Hi Gary, assuming you can get it started and it drives correctly with no warning lights and has full service history, I would say it would be ok to buy - depending entirely on price.

With that mileage I would say it needs to be less than £2000 - or walk away.

Good luck

surprised it has got to 200k not unless every major component has been replaced

As thebiglad said, if it's got that far, chances are it'll keep on going.

And if every major component HAS been replaced...no worries!!!
