Buying a Galaxy from Addison Lee

I'm a taxi driver and I want to buy a Ford Galaxy from Addison Lee to work in, but I'm in two minds because, obviously, they're high mileage cars. I don't want it costing me a fortune on repairs. Do you think they are worth buying?

I had an email from a reader yesterday who bought a 107k mile 2008 Galaxy 2.0TDCI Edge 6 speed auto from Addison Lee for £6,500 earlier in the year. Very satisfied. Addison Lee is completely upfront about its cars. Shows you the full service history. But the cars can be close to needing a new DPF.
