High Mileage - OK or not?
High Mileage - OK or not?
I'm currently looking at a 2014 X3 2.0lt diesel auto with 95k on it, there is a full dealer service history but not knowing these vehicles I would like to know if 95k is too high and maybe will start to give problems in the near future. We would only be putting approx. 5k per year on it with normal town driving...

Re: High Mileage - OK or not?
As a person who has many high mileage cars I would say they are Ok as long as they have been maintained regularly and show no signs of abuse. I.e. poor paintwork, cheap tyres indicating that the owner has not invested in the vehicle.
I have owned cars from 100k plus and easily put 50k on them. Given the high miles as long as your can get the car for a good price you should be ok. A dealer would shift the car to auction and theilre are fees involved so see what you can squeeze from them.
Even try to get a free service. Every little helps.

Definitely ok especially at 4 years old. Modern diesels designed to last.
Great cars, great engines. Love my X3!
