149000 is n ot much these days, although the only Vauxhall I have ever owned, back in the 80's, a Mk1 Astra 1300 Estate, was jiggered by 50000 even though carefuly driven and meticulously serviced(new engine, driveshshafts,struts, by then-never again!!). My Renault Espace 2.0 petrol had done 450000miles on the original engine(not even using oil) and gearbox, but was on its second clutch,when I sold it .My Mazda Premacy diesel blew its head gasket and hence its radiator at 228000 , the clutch was nearly due for replacement, and there was rust in the wheelarches so I sold it for scrap as it was just too young to qualify for the scrappage trade-in allowance.
