I always try to buy very low mileage cars. Many take a different view and you pay a premium. However, consumables show minimal wear with low mileage and others subsequently see the value when you come to sell. My Mini was well specced and still low mileage when I sold it. Those factors make it stand out in a sea of other, similar cars for sale.
As I say, there are other arguments to be made for other rationales, which I respect. This mindset has served me well for many years though.
