My thoughts are, how many those miles has it been abused/onb track, its hardly a commute cruiser....whens it going to need a clutch, brakes etc etc

If you don't do many miles which I'm guessing you won't. I would go for it. "free" motoring as it where. So log as you keep it long enough to benefit the diff......
Ok scrap that idea

Id keep it for 3yrs, so would be on around 70k when I come to sell it going by my previous 2yrs mileage.

I would say the opposite. Its been used for commuting, being an everyday supercar like the press seem to label it.

i wouldn't buy that one because it may need a clutch soon or even new brakes and i'm guessing most parts for those are not cheap?
if it's a real bargain though then i can't see a problem. nice to see a proper car being used.

The way I see it is..if its the right spec and the right price mileage isn't an issue.
BUT if I was spending that kind of money and knowing how much the parts are I'd have it checked at a specialist and then negotiate the price. Dealers don't seem to Luke this though

25k a year. thats 2k a month. Not really that much tbh! Seen a lot worse. If thats motorway miles it will be better than a car thats done half that around town.

We've got cars at work doing 50k+ a year one fella commutes from Manchester to Carlisle every day.
Probably never been over 100mph knowing type of fella he is!
Mileage doesn't put me off, I'd also rather a car that's been run in properly (driven hard from day one) than one that potters to shops and back!
As long as rest is clean and service history to cover mileage etc.

Close to 40k, would expect a expensive service will be due then.

50k on a 2 year old car with no MOT done yet. 50k on a 10 year old car has had 7 MOTs.
