A lot of kilometres: 360,000 km, about 1.2 times what a 20-year-old car usually has. Ask for the service history, and when the timing belt and clutch were last done.
65,000 km more than similar cars for sale, which have about 295,000 km.
An older car: 20 years old. Cars over ten years need an NCT every year, and repairs and parts weigh more in what it costs to keep.
The NCT runs out in January 2027: budget for the test and any repairs it asks for.
