It never not started, never broke down and never made 'a funny noise'.
I was sorry to see it go but my wife changed jobs and so we have swapped it for a D5 which will get the same treatment.
I my opinion there is a 'fiddle' factor and believe sometimes this can bring on trouble...

imo fiddle factor or not it mostly depends on how the previous onwers have treated it. i bought mine with 78k on the clock and have only done 5k since, if you buy a car and do 40k in it and do sod all but general service as in oil n filters etc, then sell it, the next owner is going to get a nasty surprise sooner or later
