Clean low-mileage used car

We're looking at replacing the 2000 MPV, because putting additional $$$ into a van with 275,000 km is starting not to compute.

It looks like a direct replacement to a newer MPV will give us everything we want in a family DD (well, except stability control).

There's a bunch of off-lease 2005s and 2006s around, and some of them have ridiculously low mileages, like 45,000 km over five years.

I know basically what to look for in a used car, but is there anything I won't think of that gets worse even though it ISN'T very used? Tires, obviously, and fluids; what am I missing?

Thanks!

Exhausts are another thing to watch out for, although OEM exhausts tend to hold up very well these days. I would check for dry-rotted tires if they're original, as well.

Short trips would be my main concern with a vehicle with lower miles than you'd expect.

I don't think any of these fall into the 'mileage so low that you'll get damage from them standing around' category. I'd look for stuff like seized brakes anyway, though.

Thanks, guys. The search begins shortly.
