Is this Qashqai mileage an issue?
I'm looking at a 2011 1.5 Nissan Qashqai. It has 200k miles on the clock and has had the clutch, flywheel and timing belt done recently enough. I know the mileage is very high, but what would you advise?

Any issue with high-mileage Picanto?
Is there any cause for concern in any way in the short/long run, for example the size of the engine vs the amount of mileage accumulated in such a short space of time for a Kia Picanto, 1.0 Smart model (engine displacement: 998cc), registered in 2019?
The odometer stands at just under 20,000km (in less than five months). It is said to have been used as a test drive vehicle. (The attraction to this vehicle is that it is the top of its range model at a decent price compared to a brand new car.)

Should I worry about an engine replacement?
I'm looking at a car advertised as having 18,000 miles on the clock, but at foot of ad it explains that engine was replaced after 148,000 miles and that new engine has only 18,000 miles on it. So the car itself has 166,000 on clock. I am wondering if the fact the engine needed to be replaced is in itself a red flag, and whether or not 166,000 is a huge mileage for a five-year-old car?
Thanks

Is a high-mileage Skoda Octavia ok?
Would a 2005 Skoda Octavia diesel with 290,000km on the clock still be a good buy? The car is in excellent condition body-wise and has had the timing belt changed twice as well as the clutch and turbo done. It drives very well and I am told they are very economical. If it is looked after will it do up to 500K kilometres or more?

Is this Ford an import because it's in miles?
I drove a 2011 Focus today and its mileage clock was in miles. Are all Fords like this or is this car an import from the UK?
