Hi, everyone,
So great to find such an active, friendly and dedicated community here! Pleased to be part of it.
I'm looking at getting my first Puma (a 1.7) and have been comparing what's out there over the past few weeks. I've already discounted a few for having too many owners or not enough history, and I've recently come across one which has had one owner and has full service history. Plus, a quick check on the MOT history and it hasn't even had any advisories other than worn tyes.
The only catch… it's done just over 160,000 miles
My thinking is that to have kept it on the road that long, and in such good nick, that one owner has clearly looked after it well. But how long do these things last, realistically? Can I keep going to 200,000 and beyond? I'm hoping to keep it at least a couple of years.
Thoughts and comments gratefully welcomed, and thanks again for having me!
Jon
