Looking at a 2004 HSE Disco with 220k on, decent history and good condition. Question is, is it more likely to go wrong than a 150k example ? or should a lot of the problems have been taken care of ?
Lastly, what would be a ball park valuation ?
Thanks

At them sort of miles you are likely to encounter the big problems for a second time.
Value is obviously not a lot, I would say sub 3k and maybe even less, after all who else is going to want it after you? it is after all a 15yr old car with big miles, either of them things would scare most people away, add them both together and the market must be tiny.

My theory was that a £3k car is probably no more likely to go wrong than a 6k car with 150k miles, and if it does, l've only lost half the money.
But could be wrong.

A £3K car with high mileage that has been properly maintained will far outlast a lower mileage £6K car that’s been abused.
Both are a gamble frankly, so do your research and budget for some preventative maintenance regardless.
I bought a £4K 2005 with 134,000 and put cash aside to do the basics. Spent £7K in all but happy the major items are now done. 2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...
2014 BMW 435d convertible. Bought July 2021. 58,000 miles and counting...
2005 Discovery 3 HSE Auto. Bought Feb 2019. 169,000 miles and counting...
2009 Freelander 2 XS Manual. Bought Sep 2013. SOLD Aug 2021 (already regretted!)
