Hello, advice needed please.

I am looking around for a 2014 D2 Cross Country lux, and have found 2 that I am interested in. Both are the same spec but one has 17000 mile for £11200 and the other has 9000miles for £11999.

My question is: Would you advise paying a little more for the low mileage, or could such low mileage on a 3 year old car, be tempting problems with the DPF?

Thanks for any advice.

I'd go for the Low mileage one as long as it's what your looking for. Don't worry about the dpf the higher mileage one could just be as much trouble it all depends on how the person drove it and the conditions it was used before your ownership.

Of course you have no idea about that so as long as the car checks out well which it should with it only being a 2014. As long as your driving needs suit a car with a dpf there's no need to worry. If you can find a d3 that would be better than the d2 1.6.

Thanks.

I am looking at D2s because good mpg and low tax are at the top of my list, and the 1.6 will be plenty for the use it will get.

I have 2.6 Omega Estate that I use for towing our caravan, the V40 will be our everyday car.
