I service a mk4 v-reg astra (about every 3 months as it happens), which is on 540,000 miles (and counting) - has had a head gasket (replaced by me at circa 265k) and dropped a valve spring at circa 380k (so HG replaced again, although not strictly needed) and serviceable parts throughout and it still drives nicely - on original clutch (!) and box. Best bit? Its a piddly little 1.4 16v

That is seriously impressive! Wow!

My 1.6 16v needed either the valve stem oil seals or piston rings done, was burning more oil than it was petrol so I decided to get shot of it.

I am currently driving about in a 2.2 SRI mk4 Astra, so that does give me some hope!

I really like the leather on that BMW

I do wonder why they didn't buy a diesel to do that sort of mileage in though.

That Focus also seems to have worn its miles well, needs a good clean inside mind!

504000 2007 Zafira - £1420 is strong money IMO!

Christ, that is quite something!

Anyone for an LS400 with 300k on the clock?

I would hate to think how much fuel that thing has gone through!

'98 BMW 523. 301k miles. 1 owner from new. 2 miles away from me. Help.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2013...

Good god, if that wasn't 300+ miles away I would probably buy that and flog the Astra!

[BorkFactor]

^ I spotted that the other day, I came to the same conclusion! Not a chance does that have 79k on it.

[BorkFactor]

That 406 is very tidy, for some reason I really like it.

19 seconds to 60 for that Octavia is pretty impressive though, and there was me thinking my old 1.8 Mondeo wasn't that quick!

Here's a V70 with a lot more than 300k miles...

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2013...

Wow, good find! I wonder what it is like in the flesh?

Also all the talk of "do not ask for final price, come and see it before you make an offer" makes me think the seller will probably let it go for less than a grand.

[BorkFactor]

^ Christ that is impressive!! Must have been a taxi or similar?

[BorkFactor]

^ Jesus that is quite something!

I wonder how it stood up to these miles? You don't often hear about the "performance" variants being used for mile munching. Love it!

[BorkFactor]

Probably rented out to a company. I worked for a company who paid me to drive a rental all over the Scottish Highlands every day and it was well over 14k when I left.

Mine got a nice easy life - I treated it like my own car and drove it sympathetically. The same cannot be said for some of the others that my colleagues had sadly - I saw a brand new at the time (less than 1000 miles) Fiesta die mechanically at the hands of one of them. Shame.

Look at the state of the seat.

How does that even happen?!

[BorkFactor]

Great find there!

I would be interested to see if the ATF has been changed, and how often. Are these sealed for life units like the ZF?

225000 mile 330i anyone?

I really like that, looks to be in great nick too.

Depending on the work done then that could be a steal for someone.

I really can't remember if I or someone else posted this before?

450,000 mile Bentley Flying Spur anyone?

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/b...

Christ that thing is still for sale? I remember seeing that well over a year ago!

Love it though, I wonder what the history of it is?

2006 320d Touring. Just coming up on 344k miles.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

Wow!!

I wonder how much life is left in that? I would be more put off by the colour than the miles

Pretty sure the mileage on this one is genuine.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

1 owner from new R129 SL320, 330k miles.

I really like that! Mercs of that era are fairly reliable, no?

I wonder what the history file looks like.

[BorkFactor]

Far from the highest mileage in this thread, but this looks good for 200k:

And since when did these get so cheap?!

[BorkFactor]

It appears that S Class has sold now!

How much was it up for? Always fancied one of them.

[BorkFactor]

Christ there has to be an extra 9 in that asking price, what a shed!
