What's concerning you about it? Which model is it? 7.7k is low mileage, wouldn't worry about anything with that to be honest. Just check the service history make sure everything has been done at the right time. Even if it's a THP you don't really start running into the carbon build up issues until the 20K+ mark.

Hi MM, should be ok from Citroën Dealer some people just don't do many miles, how many owners has it had? If one or two should be good, maybe ex demo car or something originally.

My THP would be an 11 plate and have just about that mileage, never had a real problem with it. Some people just do not drive a lot. Simply ask the maintenance history of the car, but sounds like a good deal.

Maybe An Ex Motability Car, I Only Done Nearly 8,000 miles on my old 2011 C3 Exclusive over 3 years,

Recently I saw a 12 Reg DS3 Motability Had For Sale On Their Trade Site with only 477 Miles on the clock, but had its servicing done on time.

Some people don't do many miles, my C3 2010, had 21k on the clock when I picked it up, traded it in Jan with 25k on the clock, the dealer had a shock when I showed him the mileage he wasn't sure he heard me right in the showroom.

Turns out my DS3 has a short mile history as well, 14k on the clock and its 18 months old, since I got it 6 weeks ago ive done a total of 40miles. Some people like nice cars to look at on the driveway

Those crazy people just roll their odometers forwards to make it look like they are doing something. They really hit the local pub first thing in the morning and not drive to work. The rest of us low milage people prefer to drink at home.

Pfft, I've done 10k in the last 4 months!!!

When you factor in depreciation would it not be better value for money to be chauffeur driven everywhere with mileage that low?

Ok guys thanks for your comments seems my original post was a bit vague did it from my phone it is an 11 plate ds3racing one owner bought from same garage he sold back to was retired so didn't do many miles and spoke to him. All services done etc and pick it up in a couple of weeks Can't wait although tinged with sadness as now have to sell my beloved Subaru Impreza!!!
