Bit of a departure for me, posting in here - but here goes...

What would you consider to be high-mileage for an early S40/V40, assuming that the manufacturer's service intervals have been adhered to?

Is there anything else peculiar to these models with highish mileages, other than the usual to look out for?

Mrs Julesv has a P plate 2 litre V40. I bought it on impulse at an auction. Has now done nearly 150,000 miles. Fully specced with air con, heated seats, full leather etc. Absolutely everthing still works, it always starts immediately and is looked after very cheaply by a local mechanic. As long as you don't expect it to be exciting I would thoroughly recommend one. Very good value and I would definitely buy another. Good Luck.
