And that lovely Volvo 940 with 300k mentioned yesterday, I thought we could have a thread dedicated to cars for sale with mega mileages.

A couple of Audis here with well over 200k on them

Neither actually look that bad!
It would be interesting to buy something like this and see how long you could run it for before it threw a massive bill at you.
Would be nice to show these to the "cars become unreliable after 50k" brigade

A Laguna with 285k?

Or a mk4 Astra at 233k? I think this is more of an achievement as my Astra with the same engine was dead at 75k!

Wow. My parents had one that they ran to 130k. It never went wrong, but I remember it getting more and more rattly every time I came home from uni and drove it. SERVICING WAS DONE BY HISELF WITH THE OIL,FILTERS FUEL FILTERS CHANGED EVERY MONTH
Complete service every month sounds a bit overkill, but then the car is £385. If it runs, drives, and an get through an MOT you are doing well

There's a fair number of cars in PH classifieds with high miles http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2823526.htm
Wow, that is brilliant! I wonder what condition that is in as it sits... Someone will need the brave pills!
Some great stuff appearing in this thread, that Civic looks pretty good for its mileage, I know one on 50k that looks a lot worse.

not strictly for sale anymore, but my golf was on 230k when i bought it! 1.9tdi
What sort of condition is it in? Did you have any reservations about buying a car with miles that high? jack01825 said:
That is in incredibly good nick for over 300k if the photos are anything to go by! I have heard about that Discovery before, but not seen the link. Thanks, very interesting read!

Completely forgot about this thread - love the new Jetta with 92k!
Here are a few more:

Both seem to wear the miles well, especially that V70!

It really makes you wonder, doesn't it? But then in the last 2 note how you can't clearly see the drivers bolster. Even still, I have seen much worse interiors on cars with less than half the miles.

Saw this in another thread, worth a mention here even if it is just for the advert:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-80-TDi-Estate-Stars...
Some great stories, glad to see some people are not scared of a big number on the dashboard

I got rid of my 190,000mile S70 just over a year ago. I miss that thing, was a great car. Just a shame it was gonna hit me with bills about 2x what it was worth. Which reminds me, the chap doesn't mention in the advert how recently the injector pump belt and tensioner was done. 50mpg from such a big car was fantastic.
Have to say, I have never been in one If it has made it that far, I doubt he has skimped on maintenance too much
Found this, who is feeling brave?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-MERCEDES-S320L-AUTO...
This actually looks quite tidy
http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/bmw-...
264k
And another Volvo! Not quite on the same level as the one I posted earlier, but still pretty good
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...
310k!
Fairly tidy Passat on 290k

Not massive miles but cracking 200 thou before it's 4th birthday is fairly impressive.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-08-BMW-320D-EDITION...
That is very impressive, good find! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-08-BMW-320D-EDITION...
These seats look in very good nick too considering mileage - I have seen cars with half the mileage that have looked worse inside. The passanger side looks like it has hardly ever been sat in!
It mentions a warranty in the ad, I wonder how much that would cost on a 200k mile car?

And this one has gone through £50k in 10 years ...

Sold as a write off due to a scratched door and scuffed bumper!
Just noticed this, wow! I can't believe they would write it off for just that http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-VOLKSWAGEN-PASSAT-S...

It could be totally fine, but it sounds like the cambelt needs done and these turbos won't be cheap when they blow...
