there is a citroen d3 that i have come across, it has good service history but the problem is that it has too much miles on it, the service history is actually good and the original spares have been used with OEM wheels, should i take it?

With the greatest respect Maisie this is the Daimler Owners Club forum and as such intended for Daimler owners and not Citroen.

That having been said, the wisdom some years ago was 10,000 miles per year is considered normal. As you don't say how old the car is and there are many other factors that would be required to give a meaningful answer to your question, the best advice I think I can give is for you to get an inspection from a qualified engineer, try the AA or RAC.
