Mileage a red flag?

Hi guys! Were still in the cautiously looking phase. This has popped up on auto trader, I know its a private seller but wanted to get some opinions? Still very much learning to filter out options and see what we can afford etc. This is lovely to us but the mileage at that age and 4 owners are a red flag to me, is that a fair thought?

Thanks as always!

Looks good, it might be that Ulez has forced a few of those owners to sell....

The mileage isn't something I'd worry about, an ex fleet vehicle, such as an AA van will have done a stack of miles but a van that was converted to a camper early in life isn't likely to be used daily in the same way.
The red flag (for me at least) is that it's at Rhyl.
I always try to avoid vehicles that have lived near the coast due to corrosion concerns, it'd be worth looking underneath for corrosion if you do decide to go further with this T6.

Wow, that had never even entered my thought process. Thank you!

And opinions on this may vary - it's just my opinion with no solid evidence behind it, just old school thinking.
