There doesn't appear to be frontal damage, so why would the airbag have deployed?
plus no service records or log book, at time of advertising ?
and its not a 'luxury sports car'
It's what you can't see you have to worry about  It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

He is a trader, check hs feedback... One or two negatives... He even sold a helicopter
Hundreds of cars are sold on a weekly basis as cat d... You inspect it first.. If happy buy it, if not walk away, If it ain't broke... Take it apart anyway, how else you gonna find out how it works

In context, I wonder if that's a typo and he means "no engine damage" - as he also says it starts! 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

And he says it drives.
Deffo got an engine, you can see it in the pics.
What model is it - I reckon XS
It's a very messy worded advertisement.
I certainly wouldn't trust them if they cann't even get the basics of an advert right! I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

It's a GS, looks like cloth seats.
How come the wheel arch trims are missing on both sides when only the off side has wing damage?

But it's also got front fogs!
then again I don't think there's a sat nav
so GS it posibly is
Re damage, would think it's mainly frontal underneath.
Possibly the bumper has moved back and taken out the arches.
You can also see the washer bottle on the bottom NS, so theres possibly a bit of bumper missing. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

I know it's down on the front suspension, but the front offside wheel looks like it's at a very strange camber angle compared to the other side?

Looks to me like whoever was driving, tried to go down too narrow an alleyway.
Hence wheel arch trims missing and damage to offside wing and nearside spoiler

Back to the original post...
Personally, I wouldn't rate 60,000 as high mileage - my D4 has done 30k in less than a year and it's all holding together well so far!
The Fun Prevention Officer had nearly 80k on her F2 when it went back and to be honest that was a far better car than the new F2 which has all sorts of eco-stop/start stuff on it!
I wouldn't worry too much about miles but look for FSH and a cared for feel
Good luck D4 Commercial - 65 Plate, 2016MY
D5 Commercial - Handed back when I left that job…
D4 Commercial (2014MY) - gone
D4 Commercial SDV6 - Baltic Blue (also gone)
D1 300TDi... 2" lift, HD bumpers (both), detachable tow hitch, 9,500lb winch, 235/85/16 muds and plenty of other toys (gone to make way for the next toy...)
Smiles per Mile - Tornado Motorsports caged Evo 3... 100" Defender look-alike, with Range Rover running gear - all fully IVA'd and registered!

It's a GS with the Bright Pack factory fitted. I'd say it had been pinched and driven across some very rough terrain and considerable speed before being abandoned somewhere, probably completely stuck in mud! 2016 Discovery 4 Commercial
