High mileage.

I have been looking at used FFRRs and found a few with mileages between 100k and 115k, obviously history is paramount, what do you guys think if a vehicle has a well stamped and documented history?.

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

I bought my RR last Nov, with 115k on. Could have got one with less miles, but the car I got was 1 owner and FSH. Chap in his 60's...........traded to a Lexus RX300 as it was easier for his wife to park....

Garage had to do a few things - battery, radiator, knocking on front suspension, CD changer, final stage resistor on the blower fan.

Doesn't use any oil........only done 117500mls now though..........

I'm well happy with it.

Do have a few bodywork bits ie the upper tailgate is starting to get scabby, and the rear wheel arches are always an issue...........had them stone chipped and put the rubber protector on them from a Range Rover Sport......

Mines currently at 100k. I think condition and history is more important then mileage, unless your a high mileage driver yourself. Reformed

My"new" TDV8 has 114k miles on it and it's condition is quite stunning. Maybe underneath there's some potential work that will need done, but for now I'm happy and very comfortable with my decision. I say that touching much wood obviously! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

The engine and gearbox are smooth with no issues and electrics is solid (touch wood). I bought the car based on history and condition. Had full history, 1 owner and was mint for the age. Tom
