vtr engine

[woolhead]

right just went to view a black top vtr, the paintwork, interior and the engine bay is spotless, i mean super clean, however the engine has done 10100 miles, is this bad, it has service history , i couldnt see any smoke and seemed to drive well, but ive never driven a vtr so i dont no what they should feel like, if u get me what i mean is, is there anything that i should look out for if the engine has done that many miles? its got a brand new rad on it any help appreciated

:y:

If its all clean n got good history mate, no reason why it shouldnt be fine. Fair few on here with over 100k engines and still going strong. I had mine till about 113k. Only changed it as i got a tuned engine and stuck that in instead.

If your gettin car cheap enough and all bodywork etc. is in mint condition. Id go for it. As a new engine isnt much anyway for a vtr. Ive just enquired about one myself and can get one with around 50k on it for £100. And thats from a proper breakers.

Aslong as its been serviced properly should last ages yet..:)

How well its been maintained is more of a concern than the mileage.
