My 1.2 Stilo has 68,000 miles on it. Still a baby, but about right for a 53 plate I guess.

My first car 1.3 MKIII Escort was given to me with 100,000 on the clock, and I rattled up another 74,000 on top of that! Put that in context, original engine (only had head gasket replaced at 90,000miles, not even a skim), original gearbox and drive train. By the time I scrapped it the front wings flapped alarmingly at the bottom lol.

I had a 1997 Escort TDI (the 89bhp model), bought it with 72,000miles in 2002, and put 74,000miles on in less than 24months! Gearbox fell off after 30,000 of those miles, scrappy box was the replacement. Cheap car!

My 1992 mini is the lowest milage i've put on a car, had it 9 years and only put 22,000miles on it so far.

Oops just checked my 1.2 actually only has 62,000 miles on it! I intend on keeping it until I hit 100,000 though.

my '52 JTD is now pushing 135k, hoping she'll go quite a bit further though! Doesn't get as hard a work out as she did with her previous owner - 200miles a day i think! Now she does about 50 a day.

50 or 200 a day, wouldn't make much difference being 200 as the engines wear happens mainly on start up and long distance driving of 200 miles a day wouldn't cause much more wear than 50 miles

118k now...

Still going...Just...

Because everyone gets bored eventually.... that said I won't be considering selling until I hit 100k, if the car is still going well and parts are no problem then I may hang onto it lower. Being a Scot we don't like to loose money, so if its worth £500 by then, then I'll drive it until the wheels fall off..... twice!

So far the car has cost me about £1k a year if you factor in the cost of the car and the time owned, the longer I keep it then the cheaper it will get until it hits that point where I'm paying for repairs every few months.

Another milestone today, 120,000 clicked round this morning.

then your not far off the magical 123,456

I actually got excited in the days building up the moment it happened lol

I'm upto 129,500 now and still going strong.

Get it up to or over 170,000miles and then you can boast lol. Thats what I did on my 1984, Escort L with 1.3 engine and 4-speed box!

130,000 JTD's.... so just about run in, nearly! Wonder if my 1.2 Stilo will still be with me then, only got 60-odd k on it just now after 6 years lol.

my old escort estate had close to 180,000 miles, however the prize goes to my old beetle which was at 234,000 when i sold it (much of the body had been replaced over the years, wings and doors etc but the engine was original as was the floor pan ).

Up to 112,000 now. Since passing 6 figure mark it has never run so well!! So there's the answer, drive it in to submission!!

44k in just under 2 years, thats not bad going mate but could do better lol

im on 111,678 no probs so far

102K ON A PETROL 1.8

That sounds fun, I wished I didn't trade my JTD in for the Bravo, she'll hit 100k this year if I still got her.

My '05 Stilo has 173900km (approx. 104130 Miles) in 4years and 7 months.
I made 25120km (15040Miles) in past 15 months.

My JTD stilo 02 plate is at 136700miles and still feels nice to drive
