High mileage cars can be surprisingly difficult to sell privately. Buyers see a big number on the odometer and assume the worst, even when the car is perfectly sound. If you’re trying to sell a high mileage car in Surrey, we can help.
Surrey Car Buyer purchases high mileage vehicles every week. We understand that mileage is just one factor in a car’s overall condition, and we price accordingly.
What Counts as High Mileage?
Definitions vary, but generally:
- 70,000-100,000 miles: Starting to be considered high mileage
- 100,000-150,000 miles: Definitely high mileage territory
- 150,000+ miles: Very high mileage
That said, a well-maintained diesel with 120,000 miles might be in better shape than a neglected petrol with 60,000. It’s all about how the car has been looked after.
Why High Mileage Cars Struggle to Sell
Private buyers worry about:
- Major components wearing out
- Higher insurance costs
- Difficulty getting finance
- Resale value falling further
- Unknown service history
This means high mileage cars often sit on the market for weeks or months, with owners having to accept increasingly lower offers.
We Buy High Mileage Cars
We’re different. We assess every car individually, looking at:
- Overall condition and maintenance history
- Make and model (some cars handle high mileage better)
- Whether major services have been done
- Current market values
You might be surprised at what we offer for your high mileage car.
Even If It Has Other Issues
High mileage cars often come with additional problems. Perhaps the service history is incomplete, or there are warning lights on the dash. Maybe it needs work to pass its MOT. We’re still interested.
