Unless I've missed a thread, we're devoid of a place for obligatory speedometer photos featuring nice round, high numbers.

 

Seeing as my trusty Avensis ticked over 200,000 miles today - let's see some current and past 'High Milers'.

 

We could get a limited run of badges/stickers done too if there's any interest? Bronze for 200k, Silver for 300k and Gold for the big Five Oh Oh.

 

Here's my plucky 1999 Avensis SR in Tuscany Plum(!)

Ah, you're the fortunate ones. The bodies of my chod would rot away long before the engines wear out.

Not autoshite. And I have only done a few thousand of them miles and it's a company motor. Bit of a cop out really.

253k on the 1999 BMW 530d estate, 197k on the 1989 Merc 300se, both in rude health.  The 2000 2.8 BMW z3 brand new at 101k.

I feel like I've got a low mileage car now! Just 211k on this & I've only done 1,300 or so of them.

My 2CV lacks digits, so I had to add my own 2. I've clocked up 110,000 of those miles.

Most miles of any car I've owned - 305,000 on a BX turbo diesel. It really felt like it too.

201437 now. If I don't kill it somehow it may make 300k in my ownership.

Edit. That's the wrong photo.

This is the one.

I'll have to try harder, which is why I may be buying a Rangie L322 with 202k in the coming weeks...

Looked at a Mondeo mk3 other day, had 210k on the clock. Unusually for a 1.8 the rings weren't shot. Was immaculate as well, exceptionally tidy body, full history, never failed the test on anything serious, year to year all the advisories had been taken care of, even had the original hubcaps on, never been kerbed. It had obviously been cared for but had been depended on, these are the best buys, forget these 40,000 mile jobs owned by old Bert who only used it to go to Iceland in.

 

Give me a car that's done 150,000 but looked after anytime over these overpriced 50,000 mile jobs any day.

This is our Passat, 90Bhp (once).  Have had it 15years now and bought it with 108K on it.  Now has 280K and pictured here on our family holiday 2016 in Pau.  It didn't miss a beat.

Found the pic of the GSX14 hitting 100k. Not bad for a bike & only needing regular service stuff.

This is the 2nd 200k+ car I've had, first being a Mk3 Mondeo V6 which had done around 227k when it was sadly written off. The Mondeo was a 1 owner car that I picked up for £200 from a guy who had maintained it regardless of cost, he just wanted rid because his new car had arrived and nobody was interested in a high mile V6

 

That car felt and drove like it had another 250k in it easily, never a hint of trouble. The Granada on the other hand does have a feeling about it that every mile may be its last, which I'm sure is mostly paranoia on my side after previous FTPs
