[QUOTE="LC, post: 159745, member: 2821"] How old is the car? The oldest 57 would have done about 17,000 miles per year since the date it was purchased, so I would imagine the owner would be commuting 47 miles per day, so I'd guess most it's miles would be on the motorway I'd imagine so that's 35,000 rpm for about an hour a day, now some people say short journeys kill a car which I doubt the owner was doing I doubt the turbo was used massively with that said too, with a full service history and synthetic oil, cars can generally go into the 200,000 and onwards in factory simulated conditions without wearing the main engine components on a newish car, it's a risk but if you can't afford one with better mileage it's not a definite no no, older cars within the same budget will come with their problems too. Full Renault service history = no expense spared and I can imagine none on parts on repair. [/QUOTE]
