    Most cars, with standard three year warranties, are unlimited mileage in the first two years and limited to one hundred thousand miles over three years.

    Yes, but does that include 'hire and reward'?

    Not sure, but from what I have seen, it doesn't necessarily exclude it. Thinking about it logically, if they warranty the car for unlimited mileage in the first two years, they can pretty much expect to get a few mini cabs claiming on the warranty
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    I did a bit of 'googling' and I think most manufacturers exclude 'hire and reward'. The one I found that did cover private hire was Ssanyong.

    Oddly enough I have just googled the same and couldn't find any clauses in Ford, Citroen, Renault, Volkswagen, Nissan or Vauxhall warranties that said they exclude vehicles used for hire and reward. Which ones did you look at?

    I think the ones I found were extended warranties. But I still think that 20,000 miles since the op bought the car 2-3 months ago is a lot of mileage, especially when we don't know the original mileage or service history or even the make of car.
    The op did mention a local BMW specialist that had had a look at the car so it could be a BMW.

    Which ones, so I know which to avoid.
