So that's over 100k a year, 2100 a week or 300 a day every single day? Crazy.

That is a very serious mileage !! Almost feels wrong, but i suppose if in a previous life it was a Taxi that was shared between drivers on a rotational shift then 300 miles a day isn't that unrealistic , But almost a Million miles from a relatively new vehicle ....Wow

.....and he wants near on 10 grand for it.....LOL!....and it runs on electricity!!

Mechanically it's probably in better conditon than a similar aged car that's done 1000 miles/yr on the weekly trip to Tesco/National Trust Car park. No cold start cycles/condensation in the exhasut etc etc

Maybe.....but there not getting away from nearly a million miles of wear on every moving part. Suspension bits should have been replaced (several times!).....but all those engine a gearbox bearings (if original) will have wear by now. Of course it could be like Triggers broom....4 new engines 5 new transmissions!!!

And its been towed in (tow hook attached at front) and it has NO KEYS with it.

I think I'll pass on that one

Bloody hell that’s impressive, especially considering the vehicle age.

Proper well used motor.. Wonder if they’re genuine; and if so, what the purpose was??? Taxi?? Chauffeur? Who knows.

Looks like a typo - have you run the plates on the MOT checker?

I think the monkey at the keyboard made some mistakes. Its a hybrid. There is a petrol flap. There are exhausts on the underside. The displayed mileage is unlikely to be the correct mileage. Who knows what fault codes still exist in the memory of the car?

The interior looks too good for a million miles. Unless it's had a replacement interior at some point I'd go with an electrical barf, which would explain why it's in Copart with running status unconfirmed.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

At the right price I would have had that for the novelty, but valuing it at £10k is ludicrous. There’s already a bid at more than £4k too which must be most - if not all - of its money.

That was the first thing I thought too.

There's a reason why it's on copart and not a normal auction
