DanGersFord Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 As long as its got a full service history I wouldnt be too worried. Id be more worried if it had only done a few thousand miles with no service history :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo1983 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks for the reply dan, a few ppl have said that but some have put dowt in my mind due to the milage. Its just had its major service aswell. Its paid for now so no going back anyway! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 As long as its had a good sevice history , there should be nothing to be worried about , that sort of mileage on that age of car , would be mostly motorway i would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Just make sure you keep up the service history and you shouldnt have an issue when it comes to selling the car on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo1983 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Cheers guys, my mate is the manager at a local ford dealership so the services will be done there when required. Is it every 12 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Every year for a majour service its recommended to get an intermediate service which is alot cheaper every 3 months I think but I personally normally get a majour service done them half way through the year get an intermediate service done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo1983 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yer i think i will do that to keep on top of it for the warranty especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Singh Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 39,000 miles for a 2 year old diesel is nawt! thats average mileage, if it was a petrol with 40,000 miles then it would be high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregers Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 i bought my 08 smax with 100k on the clock,full history. ive had it now approx 14 mths and its now got 107k. i phoned the ford dealer about the car and they rattled off what had been done etc i kindly asked for a print out and the guy said i was having a laugh as it would need a tree to print it all,lol mine was in every few weeks being serviced etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Welcome to the Forum Craig. That kind of mileage on an ex fleet car is nothing to worry about, it's probably all motorway mileage and no problem at all. I have an ex fleet 07 Focus that I bought with 70k on the clock and it was mint and runs like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
