Well I had to see this one to believe it.

2010 Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCi Ghia just came into scrap.

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 :)

Could be total mileage, cost of ownership over 1.1 miles or how many crankshafts it’s had since new, not sure yet 🤔😅

1.1 miles, that's not the trip computer, it's the distance since the engine management light last illuminated 😉

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.

And having seen her, you could comfortably halve that and nobody would bat an eyelid. Don't flog it to Quentin Wilson (allegedly)

Sorry, I meant to reply to you much earlier; thankyou very much for your kind comments! 

Mechanically, she's sorted. 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!

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.

Edit: Anyone know what the space to the left of the speedo is designed for?

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.

I'm more impressed that you managed to get a 1.5D from 0-60mph in one mile.

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....

200k on my 2007 BMW 535d estate. Not sure if I should do the timing chain or continue to hope that everything will be OK - seems pretty happy at the moment.

I wouldn't bother with changing the timing chain. 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
