Mines now on 133k, still drives alot better than my friends focus with 50k on the clock  :grin:   If the car has had the nessecary servicing ect then it should be ok, just the figure of over 200k puts most people off.

You reckon the car with 225k on the clock would be at the end of the 2nd clutch?

All depends on how its been treated tbh, just like you see some tdi which have needed a new turbo around 60k and some still have the orignal one at 200k, all depends on what love the car gets lol
