Default how many kilometers /s type

Hi, I am looking at a 2007 s type v6. It has run 152.000 kilometers. How long should I expect it to go before everything will fall to pieces? Many thanks from Copenhagen .

There is no answer to that as it depends so much on its condition now. Look into its servicing and maintenance especially those things that on any car need doing but may not be in the maker's servicing schedule e.g. transmission fluid changes.

You would be wise to do a very thorough examination of any car of that age.

If you don't DIY at last simple servicing etc then any luxury marque car can be very expensive.

+1 on jagv8..plus go about 15 miles an hour forward and hit the brakes hard enough to pitch the car and do the same thing in reverse and listen for clunking sqalling or any other unusual sounds coming from underneath...do this a few times...if you have concerns, have the suspension and undercarriage inspected or at least make the seller aware. One thing can lead to another on these cars

Is the car at a dealer, or is it for sale by a private party? If for sale privately, check the service records and make sure the automatic transmission [if fitted] has been serviced; the unit should have been serviced by the KMs indicated in your original post.
