Popsicle Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 A couple of updates for the Zafira, this happened Friday. Then good news earlier today. Well pleased with that - but its been a shit year, I've only done 89k miles...... It was 105k between the last MOT's. If I can do 11k miles in 3 weeks then I'll hit the 100k a year again!

Cento16v Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This was on the way home from picking it up; its way past 210000 now but the Battery and Alternator are dead so you'll have to wait for a picture 😂 davehedgehog31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 TX2 taxi. Probably an unreliable figure, and not record breaking in itself. But what about the trip figure? LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macscrooge Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Highest miler I’ve run was a Merc E200 wagon (W124) sold on with about 225k. My last Volvo (945) had nearly 200k. My current Lexus is a mere stripling of 125k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Nearly there! Thinking about it, I should have reset the trip counter when I took this. Oh well, too late now. Works out as 19k a year from new. Was a lot higher than that originally but slowed down when we had it from my parents a few years back now.

Talbot Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 When I put this through an MOT it's going to show up as quite a spike on the mileage history. It had previously only done a few thousand a year. I've put over 25k on it in a year. 2k in the last 2 weeks. davehedgehog31, scdan4, stripped fred and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It's the 180,000 Mile Maestro (tm)! Well, it nearly is. Respectable enough, all things considered. davehedgehog31, Coprolalia, phil_lihp and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horriblemercedes Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Only 148k on my ML270 CDI. Works pretty well but could do with a bit of suspension to stay fresh. Biggest problem is squeaky brakes It's unlike me to have a car with working air conditioning, but the climate control in that is belting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Further to the above 220022, managed to get the trip set at just the right point to achieve: which was a couple of thousand ago now. Next one will hopefully be 234567, which at the rate I'm putting miles on this will be in a couple* of days time.

mat_the_cat Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Points deducted for not timing the moment for 22 minutes past 10 in the evening Or holding an ice cube on the temperature sensor until it read 2.2°C. 95 quid Peugeot, Talbot, Cord Fourteener and 7 others 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did consider both of these options. However, the temperature sensor only jumps in blocks of 0.5°c, so it would have had to be 2.0°c or 2.5°c, neither of which would have worked properly. I also thought about getting 232323 and 232.3 at 23:23, but completely missed that while doing a 480 mile jaunt up north. By the time I realised, I was about 150 miles over. mat_the_cat and Eyersey1234 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig the Princess Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 No where near as high as some but I'm happy with over 170,000 (60,000 by me) from a £235 Fiat. Eyersey1234, BorniteIdentity, stephen01 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just recently sold- on 750k, a 2.5 so IIRC the earlier Vw sourced dizzler rather than volvo’s lump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I knew the A4 was getting close to the magic number, so I asked Mrs SiC the other day what the mileage was. NFI and why was the response. Because we're close to rolling over 200k! I'm sad apparently... Hadn't checked it until earlier and it said this: Oof! And she's going to work tomorrow in it too. I'm sure you'll agreed that this is an essential journey. Also the battery needed a charge from sitting 😉 Plotted my journey carefully to not under or overshoot the target. Just under a mile from home: I reset the trip counter when the mileage rolled over to ensure I didn't mess this up. So after a quick detour to roll the mileage up a tad more... 🥁 🎉 I made so sure I got the shot properly, I took a few photos... 😁 So there we have it. Just over 10 and half year old VAG diesel that's been in the family for 10 years and around 195k miles. It's had to have a both front wheel bearings, a gearbox bearing, clutch+flywheel, thermostat and fuel pressure regulator valve changed. Plus countless tyres, pads+discs, filters and about a hundred litres of engine oil. Everything else is original and untouched. Still looks modern and smart. Obligatory blinding VAG follow me home lights. bunglebus, Popsicle and BorniteIdentity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 If anyone manages to get a car to show 5318008 then they will be an absolute hero. I don't think even silly-mile trucks get that high do they?
