High-mileage Passat Estate ok?

I am considering buying a 2007 Volkswagen Passat auto estate 2.0. It has done 220,000km. Should I be worried about the high mileage?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

It depends on what kind of history the car comes with. If it has a fully-stamped-up service book and a folder bulging with receipts, tax discs and old NCT certificates, and is in obviously good condition, then I wouldn’t have too many worries. If it’s a bit tired and worn looking, and there are gaps in the history, I’d avoid.
