Mileage advice please

Post by T+T »

Hello!! looking for some more advice after a huge dissapointment this morning!! We went to view a T25 hi top on wed and loved it, waited all week and lost it on ebay this morning!! O well, we've picked ourselves up again and have found another possibility. It's a T25 viking pop top. looks nice but has a mileage of 110300 (petrol engine, 1.9, 4 gears) as we're planning a trip around Europe we were just wondering if u thought this was too high and was going to cause any probs??

The van is in quite good condition otherwise as far as we can see, is 2500 a reasonable amount to pay??

hoy.. that's low mileage mate :D :mrgreen:

bargain... go get it

you are bound to get problems with such old vans. just give it a good service and check it over for any obvious faults.
good tyres
good brakes
smooth engine (ticking like a loud clock)
all electrics functioning
no over heating
anti freeze in coolant.
no smoky exhaust fumes
water leaks
you'll always have an oil leak or two as long as its not a puddle after an hour.
