    either way if you are the 5th or 6th that would be a lot more of a worry to me than 60k miles. First reason being number of owners reduce the resale more than it being over average miles (bearing in mind when you sell it on it may even be average miles depending how long you keep it).
    Second reason being with that number of owners there doesnt seem to be any reasonable way to spin it. Even if it was pre-registerd then 2 year lease you still have another 2 people (perhaps 3 depending on if you read the V5 right) who wanted to get rid of it after owning it for about a year (or less). Thats sort of too many to be just a bit of bad luck. It suggests something like a nagging but intermittent fault that they simply couldnt live with and the dealer couldnt resolve.

    There types of cars are cheap and ten a penny. There will be much better examples out there.
