Can't see anything wrong here with a bit higher temp to be honest.
Perhaps the car was running on idle during the photo session was done.

It's not like its hitting the red line anyways?

Mine's never been up there yet lolol signs of an over heating for sure.
Poly put the kettle

Mines a 2.5 and there supposed to run hot yet my temp has never got anywhere near that hot, not even in traffic on a hot day. Not a good idea to run it that low on fuel either. I wouldn't even know if my low fuel light worked or not. That pic alone would make me walk away. Screams run on a shoe string.

Upholstery looks filthy too. Looks quite an honest car though.

yup mine never moves above a third on the temp whatever the weather

yep and it must be bloody hot to make it move because the range is so high in the thermostat so it,s probably got bugger all water in it to make it do that.

Mine goes to the half way mark is this a bad thing? If so what needs doing?

I'm on my third scoob, every one Ive had the needle sat either bang on halfway or just under half.

I'm on my 11th Scoob and only one ever went over half way and that was because my rad was blocked, even on track and on sprints they never moved over half way it just sits under half way mark

mine has always stayed halfway

When I did the cambelt I had a bit of a chew on bleeding the system, sorted now but whilst I was doing it I left my bluetooth OBD connector in and monitored the temps on my phone.
Now its properly bled my gauge sits under half way and doesn't really move even when driving hard during yesterays hot weather, the ECU is reading 90'C (via my phone, drops to 86'C at motorway speeds and after a hard drive on idle goes no higher than 93'C). When I realised my system needed bleeding my gauge was showing around the same as that pic and when I plugged in my OBD adapted it read as 110'C
I know its not near the red line but as others have said it certainly proves a warning sign

At 97 degrees mine is significantly lower than that, third of the way at most
