I can echo the sentiments here... if you plan to do a run to Spain you need to have your sights set on a regular driver that's sorted...turn the key and go anywhere.
When first got my car from the states it had 26k on the clock... was allegedly a kept vehicle.
Within a few hundred miles of driving the brake master cylinder packed in, clutch cylinders , fuel pump , plug leads causing misfire& brakes sticking...
Years later the car is driven regularly and is fully sorted ..... I can honestly say I trust it to take me anywhere
a low mileage one personally I wouldn't trust for a Spanish run .... a sorted regular driver all day long
