Car clocked over 50k yesterday, not sure how many we have on here with mileages around that. . Any issues relating to age I need to be looking for? Also noticed a knocking/scraping noise coming from front drivers wheel when turned. Stumped me at the moment.

Age related engine problems arent an issue as such. As the engine has only done 5k (see trip distance)

Engine replaced due to oil consumption? Knock sound could be few things but check your droplinks for a knocking sound or cv joints. Your car lowered?.
