Technical Highest Mileage?

[Stilomeister]

Just completed 68,000 in my JTD and was wondering who's got the highest mileage on here? I put 160,000 on my last car ( Xantia 1.9TD) and Volvos can achieve mega mileages, so how do these stand up?

 

[wizardflake]

I'm almost 105k on my VW Polo. My old Ford Mondeo had 115k on it but I only did 400 miles in that before I got rid.

My grandads 1.2 Stilo has 61k currently.

I'm upto 96300 on my JTD but I know of another JTD on here that is over 105k. Good maintenance is the key!!

 

[ABZSTILO]

I've covered a mere 33k in mine, 53k on the car in all - not even run in yet

Mine is just about to break thrugh 29,000, possibly by the end of next week, Its hard to think that when i picked the car up on May 29th this year, it only had 22,000 miles on it

 

[Big Black Stilo]

mine is approaching 49k at the moment.

of which i put 44k on it!

my last car i had, a 1043i ibiza got sold with 70k odd on it, and i bought it with 28k on the clock.

I know someone who once had a G plate rover 216 up to 176k and i lad i went uni with had a mate who had an escort with 280k+ on it- and it was sh**.

Bought my Stilo at 32800 now shes approaching 37800 so I guess im around the average range at the mo!

 

[Noclu3]

69k ish will be on 70k by the end of the week!

My dads Pug 406 1.8 had 230k when the can belt snaped!

There is a Pug 505 (?) estate taxi round here with 999999, it will not go any higher! (I belive its had a new engine though)

Wonder what the second hand value of that would be? :chin:

10 pence.

Quite unusual for a peugeot to last that long. Mind you a car of that vintage wont have many electrical items .

My car has just broken the 29,000 mile mark last nite coming back from teeside

Well my 52 plate JTD has just rolled onto 78000 miles, and I agree, maintainence is the key!

My old '96 Punto had just over 115000 miles when it died of a head gasket and timing belt failure, a sad day....

 

[G Spag]

Hardly the highest but my 03 JTD had done 32k when I bought it June 06 (so average miles, has a FSH)...it went past 72k in Sept this year!

Engine still feels as good as the day I picked it up!

 

[StiloSport]

Meh, I bought my old Stilo brand new and traded it in just over 3 years later with almost 73k miles on the clock!

 

[tkmking]

Just over 42000 Miles on the clock and the Conrod snapped, bursting a hole in the block.

I know it wasn't through over-revving, or through lack of oil.

My '97 55s is sitting at home with a broken clutch/flywheel/starter motor/all of the above....It finally gave up the ghost with 143K on the clock....

For a 1.1 that was driven very hard every day I think it did amazingly well...But now I'm sad and I can't bring myself to scrap it

 

[Stilomeister]

I'm doing about 28,000 miles a year now and change my oil every 8,000 using 5w 40 fully synthetic. I always service it fully changing the coolant, brake fluid etc every 2 years. See no reason why it shouldn't go on and on

 

[Steely]

33k miles on 52 plate.. bought it with 21k in feb only averaged 5k miles a year before i got it
