Default 2008 s40 d5 with 187k ?

I made another thread but wanted to change the title and I don't know how to move the thread or anything like that .. sorry for that.

I am looking for a s40 d5.. so one has come up its 2008 r design sport.. it's got 187k on it and is selling as Px to clear for 1495

Is this worth going for? I dont feel too good about the mileage but if some experienced people here think it's ok then maybe I'll go for it

Only.other worry is that its px to clear.. so must be some reason why they're advertising as such and selling for 1495

Thanks everyone

15 days ago that car failed its MOT. I highly doubt that the items mentioned in this list have been fixed with good quality components.

Especially the driveshaft.... Driveshafts in these cars cost A LOT of money. No way has this dealer put a proper driveshaft on the car.

I'm sure some of these used car sales places find ways to get cars to pass an MOT because their 'mate' is the MOT Tester.

Avoid.
