Good Afternoon. So I bought my first car 2yrs ago and I wasn't so enlightened. I knew it was important to check the mileage of the car before making purchase but I was finding it hard reach the person who was supposed to help me run the vin and more, during that process, the dealers kept telling me it wasn't necessary to run vin, what was important was checking the chassis and engine for leaks and blah blah. At last I ended up buying a car with 330k miles on it. And in my opinion I didn't really have so much joy driving it, especially in the last 1yr. I was always already expecting what next was going to go bad and how long will I wait again before having to go the mechanic or electrician for one thing or the other. I've concluded that the high mileage on the vehicle was one major reason of reoccurring problems. Now I'm looking to buying a new car, direct Belgium and I'd like to know around what figure will be considered a good mileage to purchase. Thanks in advance!

200k downwards is safer.

For Japanese cars that were brought in as toks, try not to go below 130k miles, for Nigeria used apart from mileage, ensure it has not been used for more than 2years and dont trust whatever the seller says, test drive hard, scan, check the fuel trim, if the seller show any sign of poor car maintainace or lack proper car maintainace knowledge, please dont be afraid to walk away. You will see something better.
