vulgalour Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 No you didn't. That's clearly a mere* 199,999 miles and you have the photograph to prove it. But really, well done. 200K is the new 100K. solid61, myglaren, Dick Cheeseburger and 1 other 4
overrun Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Nice one, mate. I love high mileage cars.My 2009 Mondeo is on 174k and rising fast. purplebargeken and FakeConcern 2
Lankytim Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My XM is on 213k and still drives smashing! purplebargeken, FakeConcern, michael t and 2 others 5
stripped fred Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I've only taken one car past 200k which was my 2001 A4 tdi which I'd owned for 7 years and looked after well. I was very happy to pass this milestone... until a few weeks later there was a small noise when I pulled out of a junction and within a few miles the engine had started to eat itself. I stripped it bare on the drive and fragged the rest, with a tear in my eye.
Kiltox Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Nice one. Has anyone on AS got a car with 300k+?Yes, a 1998 Audi A6 1.8T with 324,000 Lacquer Peel, Supernaut, myglaren and 1 other 4
neil1971 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Good work, here's another high mileage Fiat, my old Uno in 2001 More pics of it here - http://autoshite.com/topic/23430-my-old-italian-shite/ Current dull daily Almera on a mere 162k at the moment! nacho man, wuvvum, Vin and 13 others 16
solid61 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Posted April 8, 2016 Must admit id be gutted if the stilo packed up now,ive had it 6 years and done 100,000 miles in it and become quite attached to it,it would really be a sad day to have to sling it away due to mechanical failure.
lisbon_road Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 One of my Mk3 Astras. Picture somewhere but can't find it. (My Sierra has got to 192K, and now has about half a dozen bolts which are original parts).
beko1987 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 287k this morning! Feels a bit tired recently though overrun and oldcars 2
Dermist Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Our B5 Passat TDI now has 276,000 miles. Bought it with 108K 14years ago. Only FTP thus far has been a flat battery (which was my fault as it had been slowly dying for weeks beforehand D'oh!) FakeConcern and overrun 2
dollywobbler Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My 2CV has passed 200k, though not very much of the original left.I had a BX with over 300k on it. Went well enough but did feel tired. Just found out it is now being broken for spares at 317k. FakeConcern, overrun and Jim Bell 3
HMC Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My old a6 c5 1.9tdi "pumpe duse" estate had 245k on the clock and drove faultlessly. Equally a 1990 w124 Merc 200te showing 220k that had plenty of life too. My highest miler was a 360k w124 300td but that had had a hard life and had a slipping autobox, leaking fuel tank, collapsed drivers seat, broken rear suspension and plenty of rust. Presumably still doing the rounds somewhere in Africa. overrun and FakeConcern 2
overrun Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My XM is on 213k and still drives smashing! Same story with mine. People can never believe the mileage it has covered.Perks of being a motorway mile munching company car in its previous life.
bub2006 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I've said it before but my van drove lively and had 260k on clock. One of best vehicles I owned FakeConcern 1
rainagain Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Before I accidentally drowned my 206 in a flood. It managed over 200,000 miles. The DW8 engine still never needed the oil topped up between services. The only wear to the interior was the steering wheel and a 5p piece size hole in the driver's seat bolster. Norbert and FakeConcern 2
Noel Tidybeard Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 if i add my 3 together with works poojoe i can get to about 180,000
Dave_Q Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Not mine but I came across this during recent browsing for a new car/van. https://www.gumtree.com/p/vans/vito-mini-bus/1162989831 Sadly, I fear this mileage may not be correct as it jumps from 245k in 2013 to 411k in 2014. Mainly motorway miles m8? MOT History ResultsHere are the MOT results for this vehicle. Please note mileages are only available since 2011. Date Result Details 15/01/2016 Pass Mileage 426671 miles Mileage Notes The mileage recorded at this MOT is above average for a vehicle of this age. (Average mileage of 127900)
Dave_Q Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Also, there was an e36 advertised last year sometime with 760,000 miles on the clock, and a full service history comprising 4 fully stamped service books!
spike60 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 254k with an E34 525 TDS BMW. The wipers, locks, etc were about wanked though engine and box good. Sold as a runner. Sons BMW 530D has 245k and is ok apart from rear suspension knocking like a good 'un. My Merc 320 CLK was selt at 205k in rude health, current 300se ok on 195 but it took 27 years to get there! FakeConcern 1
dribble Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My 2001 E200 sitting pretty on 248k - barely broken in! An E200 taxi in Vienna last year had 680k (euros so around 450k imperial) wouldn't have thought it had done 100k the driver not told me. W210's are probably the last of the bullet proof Mercs, bodies let them down as they're made of disprin, but the engines will go forever, unless it's derv... FakeConcern 1
spike60 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Isn't there a 1 owner Volvo P1800 in the States done 4 million or something? tooSavvy 1
Vin Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Here's a really shit picture of my Fiat Brava just after 250,000 miles. It was April 2011. I ran it to 280,000, gave it to my sister, who gave it back to me at 290,000. I then stuck it in one of the lock-ups where it sat for two years... Then in February I got the 127 Fiorino and I needed it's garage, so with a very heavy heart I bridged it... (it was fucked though) Lacquer Peel, DVee8, FakeConcern and 1 other 4

dome Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My ex traffic police Discovery 3.5 v8.Mechanicals and chassis were strong but the body collapsed round about it Didn't help it was my first off roader but it took the abuse well... HMC, FakeConcern and DVee8 3
FakeConcern Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I feel like am amateur, my C4 VTS is on 178000, but currently being fixed after being written off in a car park crash on ice. The XM is only 145000.
catsinthewelder Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My first BX made it to 202k before detonating on the weekend of SF1 The Disco isn't far off now with 190something thousand but should be doing far fewer miles once we have moved house.
wuvvum Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 The only car I've actually taken past 200K myself is the ex-Spottedlaurel Camry estate (which has since sadly passed on, but has donated many of its organs to keep other Camrys on the road). Highest milage car I've owned was an E-plate Volvo 740 estate with 318,000 when I bought it - I kept it for a while and used it as a tow car, it went all over the country picking up chod (back in the days when I was hiring a trailer nearly every week to go and pick up some purchase or other). At about 330K the fuel pump packed up, and it was out of test by then so I sold it for bits. The highest recorded mileage of any vehicle I've owned (not counting Renaults with digital milometers that have shat themselves) was 986,000 km on the tacho of the Roadrunner - no idea if that was genuine or not, but I have no doubt the old Cummins lump could manage that sort of mileage.
Pete-M Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 My old 528i E39. It did another 10k before someone hit it and finally killed it. My current fleet is 2001 Subaru Impreza Turbo on 161k, 2005 Mondeo on 181k and 1999 Merc E320 CDI on 189k HMC and dome 2
