Potential problems with a high-mileage Qashqai?

I am considering buying a 08-plate Nissan Qashqai 2.0 dCi Tekna with 86,000 recorded miles. The high mileage is not a negative, as I only cover 5-6,000 miles annually, and I have read that this is a strong...

Can you recommend a family car for high business mileage?

I've had a 2004 Renault Scenic since new, but electrical faults mean that I am considering changing it. I'd like a car with sufficient space for a family (two adults, one 6-year-old, one 3-year-old) and...

360,000 mile Mondeo

I have seen a 2004 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi for sale that I am interested in. It is VERY high milage (360,000) but it has been serviced four times a year (24 stamps in the book) and it is only (just over)...
