Go view both?

FSH is meaningless, just means scheduled oil changes. I've seen one owner FSH cars that have oil and coolant leaks, steering wheel on the piss and a pull to one side, and generally a wreck.

Rust is the biggest issue with the X308, even low mile shiny on top ones can be hiding catastrophic corrosion.

These cars thrive on miles and don't like not being used. Any 20+ year old car may have missing details of a FSH but buy on current condition FSH may just be paperwork rather than actual careful ownership. A car with loads already spent may be a great car or one on its last legs with regular big bils needed. Context is what is needed view both.
