I am thinking of putting in an offer on a late 2011 TDV8 with 125000 miles on the clock. As corrosion is pretty non-existent here my only concerns are the higher miles. Can anyone with a similar higher mile car put my mind at rest that nothing major is likely to go bang? Any pointers for areas to look at. There is no DPF here, I don't know when the turbo drain was updated so would this year be suspect. Are there any special service items that should have been covered at the higher mileage. I am also confused about the towing plug, it has a Towbar but no apparent electrics. Does this model need a tow module like earlier cars? The price is right so I am very keen to check it out. I have tried using Topix and it won't let me play so if there is anyone able and willing to run the Vin through who could pm the results. 2007 TDV8 VSE

You will need to check for the turbo drain mod on them all. None of them had it done at the factory.

Thanks all for the input, I am feeling I should have got to the seller as soon as I saw the add. There are very few 4.4V8 diesel in Western Australia so very little choice and mostly high prices, a fair bit more than I am willing to pay.

I have load resistors on my caravan to ensure that the car knows the van is attached but don't have resistors on my box trailer. The only flashing is when the driver's door is closed, not the constant flashing done by D3s.

Another enthusiast on here got that one inspected. It had a few problems, like an oil leak in the valley, contamination in the coolant, EGR faults and turbo actuator stuck. But was the cheapest 4.4 I’ve seen here at $40k. And a very nice colour combo. ______________________________
