Of course - what else would a peasant buy?

Can we please have a brief outline of what you've had to replace during that staggering mileage? Is anything left OEM? Presume it's a diesel auto?

If you are asking about my car then the engine has never been apart. The injectors, HP pump and crank pulley are all original as are the cam chains. I've replaced the cam sensor, MAF, alternator brushes, engine mounts, starter motor solenoid and it is on its third water pump (the first one lasting just shy of 300k miles).
It's a manual so the gearbox hasn't been apart either but it has had the usual clutch hydraulic failures and I did replace the DMF with a good used one.
Over the twenty two years I have had it (from new, so apart from the 186 delivery miles I've driven just about all of the rest) most of the suspension parts have been replaced, along with a couple of exhaust back boxes.
