Guys with your collect experience

I really want to pick up a facelift 2.0 sport, but what do you think the cut off is for except able milage. I will be doing around 12k miles a year and it will be my daily driver so need reliability.

So consider

Resale after a 2/3 years
Reliability
Availability
Condition

I know it's not an exact science but opinions will be appreciated from those that have experience

In terms of mileage these engines are pretty reliable so shouldn't be an issue tbh. But obviously it will affect the selling price when accumilating high mileage just like any other car.

In my head.... I figure a 2006/7 car with between 50/70k on the clock is where I should be aiming for with a budget of around £7000.
