Oops sorry. Just my failed attempt to upload a pic.

Must try harder.

Clicked on way back from train station yesterday

 

Saw one of them hybrid new taxi things he may be doing ok for himself

[Dirk Diggler]

My latest purchase to keep me on the road until I can find a cheap lift pump to replace my leaking one, 2006 Octavia tdi dsg, wcpgw (€300 so dont mind with 3 months test and tax worth at least that, flywheel a little rattly but not bad and drives literally as a 100k one)

DSG?  Original gearbag...? 

[Dirk Diggler]

DSG?  Original gearbag...? 

Rebuilt at 180k after never having had fluid changed, changed it every 40k since and its smooth.

 

Im just not going to think too hard about it

[Eyersey1234]

Not the highest mileage but my Focus clicked over to this yesterday

[Eyersey1234]

My little Fiesta has topped 130k. Not huge in the grand scheme of things but the rust hasn’t killed it just yet (despite living near the seaside for 15 years) and my g/friend never takes her cars past 3k revs so I think it’s done well.

I used to have a Fiesta 1.25 that I'd had from new and when I baled it was 12 years old and had 173000 miles on the clock. I'm sure it would have made 200k but sadly was going to cost too much to get through the MOT

[Eyersey1234]

My old Fiesta

[Guest Hooli]

No pic as I forgot but my bike ticked over 124k on sunday.

Has now been appropriated by my wife; which means fixing my car has become urgent or I'll be travelling mainly on foot

Reckon I should leave this here..

 

[Eyersey1234]

My Focus is showing over 175000 now

[Eyersey1234]

Taken 4th December

[sierraman]

Which engine is it 1.6 or 1.8 diesel?

[myglaren]

C5 at 228877.

Took the photo on my phone but the phone isn't recognised by any computer, nor is the SD card from it.  Something gone wrong when I did a factory reset as it had gone all Ukrainian.

[greengartside]

Saw this at the yard today, no mileage shot because digital speedo and no battery but a quick MOT check reveals this 406 dizzler has covered a modest 629,000 miles.

 

You beauty.

 

[Guest Hooli]

I don't feel like I belong in this thread now I no longer own anything over 200k.

[richardmorris]

Not the highest, but the 2cv is now on 150,000. The highest I’ve owned was my Citroen CXDTR which was at 174,000 and the original clutch when I sold it.

[lesapandre]

My XM had 195,000 on it. Interior is immaculate so it must have been motorway miles. I have only done a few 100's myself.

[Junkman]

Since August 2016 I drove over 16,000 km with the R16.

This may not sound remarkable, but for someone who for years used to drive fewer than 3,000 miles a year with all cars combined, it's relatively a lot.

[Junkman]

Explain "change the oil", please.

 

Besides, it was a 230E W124, not a 190.

[Ghosty]

850's ECU reads 185k.

[LessThanEqual]

2010 Mazda 2 approaching 140k on original clutch, engine, and gearbox. Very much doubt this car has had anything but routine services and tyres in its life. Secretly want it to hit 200k before its 10th birthday but that's a tall order.

[Eyersey1234]

Which engine is it 1.6 or 1.8 diesel?

1.8TDCi, one of the last lower timing chain ones. I wouldn't have touched it if it had been the 1.6TDCi

[BorniteIdentity]

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(!)

Apologies for the self quote, but a couple of landmarks yesterday.

 

238,855 was achieved yesterday morning halfway between Newark-on-Trent and Worksop.  Now, for the first time ever, I have a car with "Lunar Mileage"  Then, on the way home from Newcassell we ticked over 239,000.  

 

No pics as it was darker than a dark thing.

Have done 5000km in this and it still plods on; Volvo back today and this has to go; advertised it all week for €300 and not a call, offered it yesterday for scrap money €120, no takers, so it's the bridge this afternoon for it

[MrSchwifty]

No longer in my possession, sadly, but both still going strong are the two Audi's I owned. A 1994 80 TDi estate, I sold that on with 240k on the clock and it still drove like new and returned over 50mpg even if you drove like a complete loon. I also sold on a 1997 A4 TDi estate (essentially the same engine) with over 290k on the clock - again it was fine.  That VAG diesel engine, the 1Z and its various derivatives, is a seriously good engine to rival the diesel Mercs of the 70's and 80's in terms of longevity. 

 

Not sure if anyone saw this, the presenter is an irritating cock womble bumbleboob but its interesting to see the value of regular servicing:

 

 

The local garage to me at work proudly have an N reg Peugeot 405 Turbo Diesel estate in each year which now has over 500k on it. I've regularly heard of these things easily getting over 300k if regularly serviced. If I had to have one car for the rest of my life, it would be a diesel Peugeot!
