[YZ250]

Perusing Autotrader, can't find anything that fits.

Large saloon
RWD
Auto
200+ BHP
£10kish for sub 10yr 100k miles example
40+ mpg capable day to day

I think my choices are:
BMW 7 Series - too many reliability issues
…………

Remind me again why it would have to be a 7 Series, why not an F10 530d.     Apart from your budget dictating it being at the upper end of your vehicle age limit, all other criteria is satisfied. 

Regarding the 7 Series, I guess it’s the luck of the draw. You may recall me posting some years back about my son’s friends 730Ld (Long wheelbase, hence the L). It was purchased from new as a private chauffeur car for airport runs as well as business use and he ran up galactic miles on it. The auto box was repaired/replaced at 265K miles and the last time I saw it the mileage was well over 400K miles. 
No idea of any issues with it though.

Your budget will go down if you insist on spending money on loose women.

I doubt he would be able to tolerate the downgrade in comfort, features and handling

depends how many miles P/A Jamie does

Given the criteria, there's going to be a sizable downgrade somewhere.

Another one for the hilarious when it's happening to someone else list.

Or just give it up and buy a range Rover. You know you want to, plus it will be funny. 

.

I'd second that get a Range Rover & stuff the MPG.

Assuming you can find an insurance company that will insure it currently.

The 9 January 2023 Test still covers it ,despite the July fail , very odd
at least it's got 38 less mules on now than 3 July 2023 
it's not just DeLoreans that do time travel

I sat in one of those a while ago and I'm not a big fella by any means, but found it abit cosy so I reckon it would be a bit 'narrow' for TB!

We call them horses in the trade, Dave, not mules
