Mr Laurence Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202206106674717 I’ve checked and somehow that’s not a typo; 214,000 miles in an Elise(!)

Rust Collector Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I'm slowly piling up a collection of high mileage motors: Didn't realise the Subaru reached 202,000 whilst my partner was running it, noticed it now when looking at pictures from the weekend (crap photo, sorry): Volvo 940 on 220,000: Audi 100 on 217,000: The BX is the highest I own, once it's back on the road I want to get it past 300k as somebody has already done the hard work and put in 281,000 miles: Even with that mileage on it the XUD lump still starts in 2 to 3 turns of the starter which I always find impressive. mat_the_cat, Lacquer Peel, bunglebus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite that bad, I did take this pic yesterday though, so just under 5k in 16 days. Or I could cheat and show my old Zafira on all the 3's!

mat_the_cat Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I remember taking my old MZ motorbike for a final spin after someone had agreed to buy it unseen if I could deliver. It developed a fault with the odometer, and clocked up an extra 40k miles in that hour. Fortunately the buyer believed me, and still bought it!

Popsicle Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Another pleasing reading from the work van. Should have reset the trip reading to line up, but that would involve planning and thinking ahead, not likely to ever happen with me at the wheel.

Rust Collector Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Another purchase, another odometer photo; 206,000 miles in a non-turbo diesel ZX must have taken some amount of time... *edited because I'm incapable of reading numbers.

High Jetter Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I know this is on the piffling amateur scale here, but bear in mind it's my 1.3 van which had under 18k miles when I bought it 9 years ago.

Popsicle Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I knew our Vectra was closing in on all the 2's and as Mrs Popsicle mainly uses it I asked her to grab a pic to put on here. So shit loads of panic about driving and remembering to do so resulted in this the other day. I thanked her for going to the trouble as I really didn't fancy a kicking for moaning about the quality of the photo!

I had a Ford Orion that did 175000 and a couple of others near to 100 00, but with working at home , mileages are much lower. My 18 year old Subaru is only on 75000.

Ben_O Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Nowhere near as high as most on here but my 06 grande punto 1.2 is closing in on 150k For such a cheap basic car, I'm happy with that. 11001010, Matty, Dyslexic Viking and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horriblemercedes Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I think there's about 235k miles on my BMW 3-Series now.

Floatylight Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Another milestone passed in the C4GP - 195k It's the car I've driven furthest but only the 4th highest mileage, another 3k and it overtakes my trusty Cavalier 1.7td which did just short of 198k before the head cracked...

One owner clocked up a vast chunk of that taking it all around the world with him, while I’ve managed around a meagre 5000 in 18 months. bunglebus, timolloyd and SiC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
