Potentially forever if used carefully. It's often the slave that goes first, if it isnt a cable clutch.

Meant to get a pic when my Passat passed the "to the moon" mark of 235,000 miles, but I was on a mission at the time. As of today it's on 237070

Take s picture at 237732 ?

You’ve also got 400,000km on the horizon very soon! 

[Lankytim]

My 2002V70 D5 is on 204k and still runs and drives great, unfortunately not long for this world due to rust! I thought only old cars went rusty?.... oh yeah, it is old.

Our modern A4 is in for its MOT tomorrow! Fingers crossed it'll continue its run of not failing since new.

Mileage is now sitting on 182k which makes a disappointing yearly increase of only 11k miles. Was hoping to get it over the 200k mark by next year. Now the TT is gone and the Boxster tends to be only used for nicer weather, there is a chance the A4 will be getting more use again though.

I'm genuinely surprised...I didn't think Volvos of that vintage were known for structural corrosion! They seem superbly galvanised.

[Lankytim]

Apparently the front strut tops are a bit rot-prone, the galvanizing is worn away by the strut top mount plate and rust creeps in. By the time you notice the tell tale rust stains the rot has already eaten it's way though. The rust also spreads to the top box section under the top of the outer wing. Mine seems especially bad but it's not unusual.

There's also rot around a couple of jacking points which would need welding, I only noticed when I replaced the interior carpets, the panel above the fuel tank and under the back seat looks like it would deffo fail a screwdriver test too. I'm starting to wonder if it's been immersed in salt water at some point!

When I finally break it up and scrap it i'll give it a few whacks with a hammer and see how bad it really is.

KILL.  ME.  NOW.

[BritChod]

The Golden Shower is going well. Original box died at 270ish so it had a new clutch at the same time. Still on the original turbo. Tick-tock..

58-63mpg on every tank, without fail. 

[mat_the_cat]

After 22 years of ownership I've just hit the second major milestone on the Stellar! And 15k miles since the V8 went in.

[SiC]

Well it passed first time again! Cba to take pictures of the car, you all know what a black 2010 Audi A4 estate is going to look like. 

[spike60]

It is with some regret I  have had to hand my membership in due to a poor showing. The BMW 530d Touring 270k, Mercedes 300se 198k and the Porsche 944 191k have all left the fold. Best now Mercedes 320 cdi 149k followed by Mercedes 500 SEC 121k and BMW Z3 108k. Feeble.?

My 1998 Toyota Avensis 1.8 reached "Bronze Award" this afternoon. 

 

[spartacus]

My '51 plate Toyota Hiace van achieved 300'000 today. I've 'only' done 80'000 of those, it's still the most miles I've done in one vehicle.

It feels good for another 100k!

MavisNotMavis is edging closer and closer to the moon:

It's probably already there really, but the odometer was stopped for a while*

I serviced it on Wednesday and have already done 600 miles since then, so it shouldn't take too long to get the last of the way to the moon.

[sloth]

my daily 2005 prado diesel has 443000km on it. thats 275000 in ye olde moneezzz

The distance to the moon is between 221,500 and 252,700 miles, so you might be on your way back!

Belching CO2 at 242g/Km this approximates to 70,000Kg since 2002

[Tayne]

I missed the 200k moment today so just kept driving until I got home.

 

[paulplom]

I missed 123456 on my 2006 v70  a few weeks ago. Gutted.

 

[Eyersey1234]

The Focus clicked over 184k on the way back from Whitby on Saturday, sadly wasn't able to get a picture though

[Eyersey1234]

In the 1950s my late Gran's dad had a Consul that went round the clock twice, apparently the garage he bought it from put it on display in the showroom when he traded it in.

[chompy_snake]

Was closer to 276,000 when I sold it on

Do miss people getting the hell out of my way.

[bunglebus]

Rental 13 plate Transit - gave it back having hit 254,000+. Drove really nicely too.

A4 is just about to clock over to 185k. Mileage increase seems to have slowed down. Helped by spreading usage across the fleet*. Especially as the Laguna is now working* and on board. 

It's pinged up that it wants a service in 500 miles or so. Might delay it a thousand miles or so as got too many car related repairs and expenditures stacking up. It's not as bad as it seems as I changed the computer from the 18k long life service to the 9k fixed service period. Local garage only charge £100 for oil change and inspection (with genuine oil too), so makes sense having it done more often. Hopefully will take some of the loading off the DPF filling up. That's also getting more use as my wife is using it for driving to work - mostly 20mph and 30mph limits. 

[Floatylight]

C4GP displayed 170k the other day, pretty good going for a 1.6 dizzler, will I be able to coax it over 200? The number for sale on eBay/auto trader with over 150k tells me all I need to know!

Just missed 232323 - son had car in Scotland.

 

But why did I see the thread title as "Autoshite Mile High Club"?

[worldofceri]

Not a high number, but a pleasing one.



Took this a while ago.  The mileage on the Sorento is over 160k now.

[SiC]

If we're playing that game then I will leave this one here.

Definitely not high mileage yet. People have got 200k+ out of these engines and chassis.
