Low or high miles

I am currently looking for a Flying Spur 14-18 and usually look for super low mile cars, under 10k.

As luck would have it I have found a color combo that I love and that is fairly uncommon. Problem is it has 30k miles and is a 2015

Curious what others thoughts are on miles? What do most have on their cars? I use all my cars regularly and will put on 7-10k a year and usually sell them at 30k.

Thanks

Wannapan,
I am not an expert on these cars by any means, but I am of the impression that if they are driven regularly these cars have a lot less problems as long as they are maintained properly and like they are supposed to. Letting them sit causes more harm than the miles from what I have read online and on this forum so far. I believe some of the issues just become age related. I just got one that I am restoring that has 70K miles and is an 2005. The issues on it are all age related deteration and some rust from moisture. I am sure others will chime in with more knowledge, Best of luck with your purchase.

I would opt for a car with a few more miles and regular, on time dealer service any day rather than a car that has sat and missed annual service requirement. 30k is not a lot of miles if it has a good Bentley service history. I personally would not buy a Bentley that was not main dealer serviced.

I'd suggest looking for a one-owner car. At some point, these cars get sold to someone who doesn't have the means to maintain them - they just drive and drive and hope nothing goes wrong. But eventually the lack of maintenance is a big problem.
