Who has highest recorded mileage on here?

CR7

Alright lads

Im driving a 97 BMW 318is with 185,000 _miles_ on the clock. Ive had her 3 years now, with regular long drives (5hrs each way) and she still purrs like a lion. Would this be considered high mileage?

Anything over a 100 in this country is considered high mileage, be it km's or miles, lol.

74,000 miles for me and counting.

bazz26

My father currently drives my old 03 Avensis with just a shade under 180,000 miles on the clock, of which I put 160,000 miles on it.

How many miles have you put up yourself on it? Any major issues with it?

I've the same as you ('98 though) with 88k or so miles, had it since 47k on the clock which was about 2 and a half years ago.
The biggest annoyance is the poor construction of the outer ball-joint's on the front wishbones. Replaced wishbone and bushings when I first got it, they have a bit of play in them again:mad: Apart from that, never given me a days trouble.:)

triple-M

myself and the father use a vw golf mk 2 (1991) 1.6D for long journeys/carrying work tools, 245000 miles and still going strong, feckin mighty car never broke down, as opposed to the 07 passat which we use as the family car constantly in the garage thankfully still under warranty until 2010,and by the time the warranty is up it will be long gone out of our hands thats for sure:D

VanhireBoys

I now have 190k MILES on my beloved Ford Focus Van. Its '04 and it has a full ford service history from day 1. I drove it when it had 9 miles on it from the dealers. The brake discs got changed at 160k miles. Its still on the original clutch shocks bushes... We used it for courier work at the start but then I moved to Galway and now its used for normal duty...!

The flexible pipes from the Intercooler started to split and p**s oil over the engine so I swapped them to Samco boost hoses which worked a treat.

The only problem I have is broken foglights. I have replaced 4 Lefts and 2 rights.....! I dont use them but it looks bad if the glass is all cracked ..!

samsemtex

El Guapo!

I was in Spain a couple of years ago and got into a taxi. The clock said 40,000mls. I said that seems like very low mileage for an older car and the taxi driver then laughed and said, "No no, thats its second time round!!" :eek::eek:

someone actually offered me 250 quid for the golf which i felt was a bit of an insult i say we'd easily get 300000+ miles out of her, no way i'd ever get rid of it until she gives up altogether,tbh when my father first started letting me use it i felt kinda embarrassed because it wasnt exactly a nice looking car,but when i realised how solid it was i grew to love the car

High enough to fail the nct?

I have a 97 Vento diesel that recently passed the 200,000 mile mark. What a car! A full tank costs less than €45 and gets me well over 500 miles. I've never been enamored by thrift but this thing is a little diamond.

There are many more enlightened motorists than me but I've never understood the obsession with mileage. I'd very happily buy a car with very high mileage as long as it's been looked after and serviced.
