awaiting collection 2011 X3 BMW

Worth knowing

• A lot of kilometres: 430,000 km, about 1.9 times what a 15-year-old car usually has. Ask for the service history, and when the timing belt and clutch were last done.
• 53,000 km more than similar cars for sale, which have about 377,000 km.
• An older car: 15 years old. Cars over ten years need an NCT every year, and repairs and parts weigh more in what it costs to keep.
