Low mileage 172's...............

[Fantom]

Must be a few around?
My 03 plate is just about to clock 26k. Not bad for its age.
Who else has hardly any miles?

[Craig.]

Buyers market tbh, hold out fr the best available.

 

[jablitt]

[Alex_X93]

[The Chubby Pirate]

Suppose 52,500 is low for a near 8 year old car?

Mileage is nothing if maintenance is religious!

[Darmon]

[Ian_182]

18k is very good

 

[mcphee197]

I know it is not a 172 but on RS.co.uk somebody was selling a PH2 V6 with something like 34 miles on it.

No Joke, they new owner still has to get the belts done because of age! lol

[BenS_172]

My 53 plate hit 30k yesterday.

 

[chop_vxr]

[steve 'o']

18k is very good

Yeah bit of a find when i got it with 15k on clock old owner used to just keep in garage and use now and again as a 'fun' car i think!

 

[Fletcher]

I bet yours goes some mind

Yes mate she's very loose now

 

[Ridahz]

My PH1 is at 115K :dapprove:

But still has everything standard including exhaust and sounds fantastic :rasp:

sounds like my 182, 54 plate with 14k on the clock, stays in the garage and rarely gets used as i get train to work. But as someone said above, mileage is only a number, as long as the car has been well serviced!

Yeah with out a doubt and you no its been ran in well!

 

[DrR]

When i was looking for my 172, i found a 2001 plate one with 11k on it!

 

[Ali]

lol a 26k 172 is worth about a fiver more that a 56k 172 imo!

 

[Justin]

75k! WOOP!

 

[Alan]

lol a 26k 172 is worth about a fiver more that a 56k 172 imo!

+1

Yep, the high mileage on mine doesn't worry me at all tbh.

 

[Ali]

Mines on 50k. Care? Will sell for penny's but only paid penny's for it...Much for muchness really!

 

[Faxo]

Previous 51 plate was killed 18 months ago at 103k

 

[RobHardyUK]

I'm not sure you're right there. Low mileage cars will always command a premium simply because most people would prefer to buy a car with lower mileage on. I know you don't always get a better car but if you look at the market the low mileage ones do seem to be more expensive.
Not that it matters to me cos I'll be keeping mine for a long time and it will be worth nothing anyway

Hummm...Marginally...

 

[Revels]

Some people worry about mileage waaaaaaaay too much..

Id rather a car thats been serviced and looked after on 80k than one thats not been treated as well but its on 40k.

 

[Jamie]

When a car has very little mileage on it, it makes me suspicious. I would prefer a low mileage example where possible but Ali is quite right even 20k less mileage won't make a material price difference - maybe a couple hunred but nothing to get worked up about.
