Reliability wise it would be Interesting to know what has it needed during that time? Has it towed also for a living?

Having researched the price of a high mileage 90 Puma before you are probably looking at 7 to 9k.

I missed one a couple of weeks ago with 210K on the clock that went for just over 6K (plus VAT).

There are 90 Puma's out there going for 12 to 14K with far less mileage. Also depends if the price is plus VAT.

I am certainly interested as it could be exactly what I am looking for if the price is right

This shows just how reliable a vehicle a Puma can be with sensible regular servicing. Next time we have a post about someone thinking of buying one and heard they were unreliable, just send them to this post.Well done Kingofthesparks an inspiration to us all.

P.S. wish I could afford to that much driving in ours

What about transmission oils? Or did you stick to the book for them?
