Default Used car milage/ Kilometer(age) ?

So i know less is better but what cars still have alot of go in them.

I am looking at a Discovery but they all have about 200k kilometers on them is this alot for this type of car?

Are there any other cars that are still a great buy even with alot of ks on them?

If it has a good history with documentation you should be fine at 200,000km. Have a look at www.parkers.co.uk and see where the 'weak points' are.

As long as the car has been looked after then don't worry about the mileage so much. My car has around 200,000km (which converts to 124,000 miles) and is absolutely fine. Buy on condition, not age.
