Would you prefer a car with low mileage over a new car?

Which is better in your opinion? Low miles or higher years?

Hi Caroline,

That's not as simple to answer as it may seem! Every car is different and at the extreme end of the scale a car that's older that has not done much mileage could have as many problems as a high mileage car that is well used. 

Come back to us with a specific example and we'll try to be of more help.
