Mileage is most likely a typo and probably 210,000 miles.
I've seen it a lot on autotrader and eBay.

That said, £1700 may be a little too much if it is 210,000 mls

Unless the car has been the subject of some amount of pimping, and the seating etc has been changed out, (or the driver had been fitted with permanent sealskin knickers) there is no way that driver's seat has seen 210,000 mls. :-)

I do wonder what all that staining under the clutch pedal is about though. Anyone for a new clutch master cylinder??

Hmmm, doesn't really look like a 21,000 miler does it?

Well, pictures may not always tell the truth, best to see it.
Mine has done 124,000 and whilst the seats are pretty good, they aren't perfect.
And look better in a piccie

Here's mine:

Low miles on diesel at that sort of price are few and far between unless they know things are wrong with it.

Still does not look bad for 120,000.

Agree, price and condition all look good to me, along with the correct mileage.
