Will 38k miles on a 68 plate cause any concerns to anyone? And any reliability-wise thing I need to look at?

Advise needed!

38k miles on a 68 plate is nothing, you can allow for 10-12k per year. Our 68 plate patrol cars at work have 250k miles on. 👍

Just make sure the AC blows cold.

Enviable position to be in, worrying about 38k 4 year old car 😅

 

[BossHogg]

Exactly, mine is 16 years old with 160k miles.

Yeah, I'd love to be in that position but unfortunately I don't have at least 16k to spare

😂thanks a lot guys, just wanna double check with you guys, since literally just trying to upgrade to 1.5 in order to avoid that nearly £2000 belt change which my previous salesman never mentioned...

Prestige has all the toys.

A great car and no belt like the 1-litre.

Enjoy!

why would he?
it would have cost him his commission as I bet they were incentivised to offload them.

The Honda sales team were very persistent in trying to sell a 1.0 litre version to me but the test drive and feedback from a friend whom worked at Ford made me adamant to go with the 1.5 sport + and so glad I did. No issues apart from the front sensor and condenser replaced as new in 4 years and 40k. No other issues. Just enjoy the car, service when called for.
I like the car so much now have decided that what with the delays and cost of the 11G, will just keep until is called to the scrap heap in the sky.
Just this week checked and glad to see my old 8G is still on the road at 150k.
