Looking at a 1996 Defender 90 with 264k on the clock. If it has been serviced regularly, should I be worried about the mileage?

tdi is a very long lasting engine if its serviced regular,at that miles i might be tempted to look at crank bearings and cam belt,if it starts well it still has much life

I suppose it depends on what the seller is asking for it. As James says if it runs well it's worth a punt as you can always replace/re-build the lump at a later date if needed. You can get caught out though, when I bought a V8 RRC years ago it ran like a Swiss watch but 2 weeks later a head gasket went … luck of the draw

Got 204k on my fender, look after the fluids and service parts and don't drive like a James Blunt and you'll be fine - notten in the mechanicals that cannot be fixed just pay attention to the tin worm.

If it’s been serviced well then no issues as stated. Mine is on 330k and still going well.
