Buying a civic fd1 that has clocked 200k km!

[Tharun 93]

What issues are expected to occur(if there are any) when buying a 2006 fd1 that has done 200k km? The vehicle in discussion is regularly maintained throughout at Stafford.

200k km is nothing for a petrol engine. 

Just make sure the mileage is genuine (it it weren't, I doubt it would be listed as 200k km, so it likely is genuine). Check emissions test certificates to be sure. 

If the car has a verified maintenance history and is in good condition, then there's nothing to worry about. 

Just do your usual checks before buying. 

Good luck!

Like Davy said, it's nothing. It's a matter of short trips vs long trips. 200k worth of long trips won't hurt the engine. Just do a thorough inspect before purchase. 

Be happy of the mileage though. It's more satisfying to buy such a car with 200k mileage and service history instead of a meter rolled car with just 100k mileage.
