My target is to get to 186K miles.... a light second. On 114K with my current car, closest I've got so far is 140K on a S4 Audi Avant.
That's gloriously geeky, I quite approve.I would like to hit 238,855 miles, the distance to the moon. I only do about 6k a year though and the 740i would bankrupt me getting it there
) and the Clio is on 121k CampDavid said:

As it goes through that barrier I'll know exactly how fast I'm going but will have no idea where I am.
I bought a 2002 CRV Exec on 124k in April. It's about to hit 127k now. My first high miler purchase and I love it.
It runs smooth as anything, and has given me no grief, unlike 2 brand new Golfs and a Polo fresh from the VW showroom in the same period of ownership.
I'm aiming to reach 200k in it now.

My old '55 plate 182 Trophy:
Sold it to a mate on 187k couple of weeks back
Previous cars include:
TT225 - sold on 103k
330ci Sport - sold on 158k
320d Sport - sold on 113k
330ci Sport - sold on 103k
330ci Sport - sold on 168k

Mileage is nothing if the car is properly looked after!!

My VW Bora 1.9 TDi PD130 currently has 161k on he clock. FVWSH untill 122k, then VW Specialist Indy SH untill 150k, then mikeyplum "special" servicing since that. It runs as sweet as a nut caught in a blender and I'm sure will see 200k with ease 
Might need a new Clutch and DMF in the interim though. Oh, and some bushes here and there. And maybe an alternator pulley. But other than that - top motoring

When I lived in Dubai I noticed the quite young Toyota Camry taxi I was in had over 300000Kms (186’K) on the clock.
The driver said the car was six months old and the car was run 24hrs a day with different drivers just handing over with it running.
The engine was only turned off for oil changes. I was impressed.

By my calculations that`s an average speed of 42mph for 24 hours a day over a 6 month period, surely notThe driver said the car was six months old and the car was run 24hrs a day with different drivers just handing over with it running.
