Hi all,

Currently got a D5 but do so little mileage these days (company van) that I've been thinking of treating myself to something nice to drive, unfortunately I'm not too rich either...

Seen a nice spec (facelift P2 v70) T5 needing some work, not an issue and whilst I've got the other car is ideal for me. But it's high mileage 200k+, I know this isn't an issue on the oil burner, but what's the life expectancy of a petrol engine?

Not needing to know about consumables such as clutch, suspension etc.
