Only problem when fitting a second hand one is the mileage transfers so best to get one near to your mileage

I believe you can have the mileage altered. Not sure on the legality of it though

Mileage would be irrelevant on a car of that year . Old mot's will give a rough record if needed . Plenty of mobile mileage correction services if you were that bothered .Nothing illegal about unless you claim it's genuine or falsify if you ever sell it .

It may be irrelevant to you but I was merely telling it how it is!!The vehicle may be an immaculate low mileage example cherished by its owner!
