Hello, I just came across a 08 Avensis 2.0ltr TR D4D ex taxi on a car website for sale, it has 410000 miles on the clock. The person says that they have serviced the car every 10k miles since they got it, but would you still think that is too much mileage on a car
Hi Stephen,
It is a lot of miles, there’s no doubt about it. The regular maintenance is good and – as we’ve said many a time before – there is no fixed, upper limit to any car’s mileage. However, we’d advise caution in buying this car, as it has likely had a hard life in terms of usage and will require regular, ongoing maintenance. It also needs to be priced very low, accordingly.
