158,000 miles, high mileage?

Postby piman » Wed Nov 04, 2015 5:01 pm

Hello all,

I've seen an advertisement for a 2004 estate, 2.5 petrol engine, 158,000 is quoted on the listing, are there any known durability issues with this particular version assuming reasonable service history?

Many thanks,

Alec

Hello Rob,

thanks for the quick reply, sounds very promising.

I did a quick browse through the post and found one that referred to 'Ford engined Jaguars' with a link but it did not work.
