Absolutely, I know a high mileage car which is all motorway miles will tend to be in much better shape than a low mileage one which has only been driven to and from the shops all its life. But as a general rule, lower mileage is better. 140k miles is a hell of a lot whatever spin someone wants to put on itlordrobs said:

Have you done a HPI?
What's the reason for sell?
Ask if you can use the sellers loo or some other excuse to go in the house.

Could be why it hasn't sold if its not on the web as I haven't used the magazine in years. Last few cars I have bought have all been off the website as usually the best cars go very quick, leaving no time for paper publication.Trinity said:
Infact I sold my civic vti last week in 24hrs of putting it on the web for almost the asking price, didn't even bother paying for a publication issue, just £17 for 2 weeks web.

If its genuine, then snap it up m8. Absolute steal 
Although it does seem strange, these things do happen!

True although it may depend if the person has tried to get a PX value with it and been offered silly money like 6.5-7k (not out of the question) In which case the paper add may seem fair.
Could depend on many things but as per usual - too good to be true usually is.

If it was legit a trader would have snapped it up on Thursday morning when they first looked at the Auto Trader.

I did not spend a penny of my student loan on buying my car, but, nice try.
I wonder whose car is in better condition, my 'moon mileage' car or your age-old hatchback with 'low mileage'?
Keep going then, only another 0.4 seconds to go
I love people like you, its people with your mindsets irrational obsession with a row of meaningless numbers on the odometer that mean people like me can buy £36,000 cars for £7k when one with half mileage on thats spent its life having trolleys rammed into it in town and kids in the back with no warranty would have cost £12k.
Was it your insecurity over driving an old 306 that led you to make a dig at other members cars in a thread where they had not even been mentioned, or do you just enjoy a nice morning troll
I enjoy winding you up, correct
+ I said my car would keep up not quicker
