Default Just picked up an 05 75 estate

A 2.0 cdti auto and the miles would frighten you.....182000 so far it seems to be ok but time will tell. For 14 years old and high miles it's in really quite good shape despite being quite covered in quite a bit of dirty and green mould.

Only think I got a weird look for was the interior ie cream/ sand/ beige whatever it's called.

Anyway that's that.

Welcome along be prepared to empty your wallet
Sandstone is the colour from your description, look on the n/s door pillar, near the bottom & it will give you your trim code & colour code.
182K is nothing, many of our doozle owners have 1/4 million miles or more & when you rack the miles up, you'll qualify for the "Moon Club"

As long as it's been looked after the mileage isn't much to worry about.

Welcome aboard. No need to worry about that small amount of miles. These engines are good for half a million miles and more.

I think the record to date is a Durham taxi on nearly 600,000 miles
