    Thanks for your various replies. I test drove the car and the mileage is genuine. It's ex-motability which suggests that it has probably made very short trips-bad news for a diesel I think. Will give it a miss-pity as it's immaculate. A car like that is meant to be driven!

    Three year old diesels with essentially no miles are entering the danger zone.

    These engines need to be driven, and do not like short runs one little bit. I would run away from one to be honest.

    Either it's been sat around (bad) or it's done 3000 2-mile journeys (bad).


    What if it's done two 3000 mile journeys?

    Then, by definition it's been left lying idle :)
