How reliable is your car? (Everything before 2005)

All from memory so it's a struggle

1990 Rover 414si bought in June 1999 as first car, put 20,000 miles on her over the following 20 months. Needed back box, alternator, battery and CV joint in that time and a clutch, thats18 year olds in their first car for you.

1995 Rover 214SEi bought in March 2001, kept her for 5 years and put 100K miles on her. Fuel pump and gearbox went on her so stranded both those times, blocked fuel filter also had me stranded once. One or both CV joints and a wishbone needed doing, along with the catalytic converter.

2005 Mondeo 2.0Tddi, company car for a year, flywheel and intercooler hose both needed fixing under warranty, not stranded by either but intercooler issue resulted in driving 40miles at less than 30 miles / hour.

1999 Rover 600, bought in Sep 2006 and sold in April 2007. Never an issue really, think I needed a CV boot done on her for the NCT.

1995 Toyota Celica bought in April 2007 and sold the following Christmas, nothing at all (except tyres and oil change but that doesn't count presumably, most of the other cars had pads and whatnot along with oil changes and plugs etc done too obviously)

1997 Rover 400 diesel bought in late 2007 and driven until March 2009, had to replace the battery, one CV joint, other CV boot and a wishbone on her, nothing else. Actually had to have the starter looked at, new brushes or something in that.

1993 Prelude 2.2 auto non VTEC, bought in March 2009 and sold 3 or 4 month later. Nothing here either, CV boot actually now that I think of it, don't do them myself, potentially messy and pain in arse

1992 Merc E250 diesel bought in Summer 2009 and driven for 3 months until September 2009, nothing really, needed a relay for the ABS. Only a tidy up and a service otherwise, was 230 000 miles on her.

1997 Rover 216 Coupe, bought in late Summer 2009 and driven for 6 months until April 2010, had to put a battery into her, nothing else. She's currently at home off the road, needs a wiper motor for the NCT as it doesn't work on intermittent setting.

1993 BMW 520i touring, bought in March 2010 and currently my daily driver, have spent nothing on it except a tonneau cover off ebay which doesn't count really. Was serviced before I got her and she is in great condition, still need to have a look at drivers door though, won't open from the inside, she'll be for sale shortly as I only need an estate for the next couple of months.

All the above had routine servicing done, oil, filters etc when needed along with tires and that sort of stuff
