Looks shiny on the top...
Wonder what the underneath is like. Looks tidy though.

shes a beaut. Think I'd rather that than my daily which cost me 3 times that. As above, The cost comes on what lies beneath. Thing is in some places you wont even know how it tastes until you take a bite lol.

I'd go view with an open mind and a proddy thing to stab at underneath, particularly the rear. I'd love to have that bus. Maybe I'll sell my daily and get a fender with a plate and tell the boss its only 3 years old haha.

Let us know how you get on!

I'm going to try and get down to look it over - and under - in the next few days. Not worried about the engine but if the underside is ok it might be worth consideration.

Sounds like it's got a new engine as mileage discrepancy. Check chassis numbers too.

I'm no fender guru but have a good look around bulkhead, outriggers, rear cross member etc. It looks lovely in gun metal colour

Yes, good advice: it's obviously had a bit of makeover which hasn't been extended internally and maybe not underneath but I'm not going to judge until I see it.

I would say it’s more likely the original engine and when it was all upgraded “exterior/interior “ as advent says that it more likely a change of dash with speedo.
Mileage history on MOT is only the mileage as seen on the dash, (how else?). If it was at 118k in 2006 and a Speedo change then you need to go back and check the rest of the MOT history to see how many miles it really has done. Was a new speedo fitted with a new engine (never heard of people doing that and if so the vehicle has 200k+) even if that’s the case the rest of it is still up there in the high mileage area
If it’s had an engine change make sure the number is on the V5. And any history of how the engine was got

Looks pretty though. Good luck. But suspect a lot of question too ask when you go look.
