Opened the door and checked the mileage…. Yes, that’s 458,633 miles on the clock. Astonishingly it did an incredible 140,000 miles in one year! Those 2.0 TDCI engines are actually brilliant when looked after, that car is living (or rather not now!) proof of it greengartside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust Collector Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Just checked the dash of my Disco.

Saabnut Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Not a huge mileage compared to many on this thread but noteworthy. Fortunately I had a passenger* with me to record it. 180k miles is not really unusual, especially for a diesel. But this is an old school 1.5 non turbo diesel fitted in this I doubt there are many higher mileage AX about.

It would be great to do some cosmetic stuff, but the thing is I don't want to alter the original paint really. Every bump and scrape tells a story! She does need an interior deep clean and an external polish! 😎 outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherStu Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I tried really really hard to make 200k in the Merc, but I missed it by less than 500 miles. hopefully, the new owner will be along shortly to join the club 😂 The MR2 is only on 150k, but the engine is on less than 70, so should make it.

High Jetter Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Nearly... Now on the slant: I know this isn't mega mileage in comparison to many on here, but bear in mind it's 1.3 van that I have driven since a couple of hundred miles under 18k.

SiC Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 After our last high miler cacked it at 210036 miles, this is our new replacement (well over 1.5 years ago). A 2015 that we bought with 76k on the clock. Low mileage to me but some would say it's high for the age. Average for age would be something around the 60k to 80k mark. I've tried to cut down the amount of miles we do in it by using the TT more instead - was averaging 15k p/a. Not because worried about value (we'll keep this for another 5-10 years or until it dies) but just increases the 10monthly visits (12.5k service intervals) to my local garage for a service.

Popsicle Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Couriering Caddy's still rolling along, all the 3's, is that a sextet of 3's or a sixsome? Scuse the poor pic, Mrs P was with me and it was easier to let her take a crap photo, than get moaned at for me taking a decent pic while driving. I complained about the quality of said pic and had to endure silence for the next few hours, ah bliss....

It's pretty much not heard of for that engine to break a chain. Do the chain if it starts rattling, but I think that's very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
