BorniteIdentity Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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(!)

Hendry Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Not quite 200K, but 147,000 on a modern VAG is doing well I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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. 108k on this, I've done all but 7,452 of them.

dollywobbler Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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.

sierraman Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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.

Captain Furious Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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 Win some, lose some wrenchvolt and The Reverend Bluejeans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
