Looking at a few puma defenders, question on mileage
So looking to get a puma defender.

I have seen 3 one has 23k on it and is a 2008
Another is 59k and a 2010
And another is 120k but a 2012

They are all the 2.4 versions, now I can seen the mileage history and all look to be fine (not tampered with)

They are all the same trim level (basic) same price, give or take 1k

Which one would be the best option from your opinion?

I don;t think you can make a judgement based purely on the mileage. More important is how has it been used and what's the maintenance been like.

I'd rather have 100,000 miles on the M1 than 20,000 miles in a Cheshire salt mine for example. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Very Happy

From what I have seen condition across all of them is the same the higher mileage has more dents but that’s from use (or owner is bad) for a service history that’s harder as they are spanish vehicles and if the oil stays in they don’t change it 😢

Not being touched is good.

They have had 2 owners first one was a company second one is the current seller from what I can see.

One of them looks to have perfect chassis but the exhaust is rusty but I guess that’s normal.

If all other aspects were pretty similar, I'd go for the one which had been fiddled with the least.

Thanks, from what I can see one has a phone kit installed, another one has a tow bar.

But from what I can see (not seen them in person due to restrictions)

But thanks for the advice.

Assuming underneath they all look similar.


Have you any service history to go on? which one do you get a good 'feel' for? prefer the colour, any options that are in one and not another? Most things can be retro fitted A/C would be nice but if none have it anyway...


Any paperwork with any of them, owners bills etc.


If all seem similar go for the one that feels right Smile Almost everything can be changed and added.



Smile good luck

Thanks, the only one that’s slightly different is most ££ but is only a 5 seater.

They are all the same colour. Same trim level.

I think I have to do a road trip and see them. And as you all say purchase on condition.

I guess no significant issues with a lower mileage engine compared to a high mileage.

Hello


Another consideration could be tax? are they the same tax class?


My 2.4 station wagon is £540 a year to tax in UK. I don't mind this as love it and losing far far less than a Mercedes Estate I swapped it for Thumbs Up


Other than that a quick drive see what feels right Smile

Tax is a minefield here in Spain, all of them technically are m1 (one is n1 but I can re register it’s class to m1)
