Has anyone heard of a case where someone bought a high-miler and it turned into a disaster?

If car has been serviced the engine/gearbox internals should be good for 200oddk miles. All that really matters is that there is a service history listing what has/hasn't been replaced. On modern cars, even replacing a starter motor can cost £100s.

I can feel my clutch coming to the end of it life. 108,000miles. Its not gone yet but i have set aside £700.00 to replace it. Its part of running a car if you ask me. Anyone who owns a car must expect things to go wrong. I may get another 10,000 miles out of it. I doubt it but I live in hope.  

For me buying used car is checking service history and whats already been done. Also essential for me is the cam belts condition if not chain. I change it always when I get a new used car whatever the history so I know its done. Iv had them go and written good cars of because of it.
