Wow that's an average of 183 miles for every day of its 3 year life 7 days a week. Or 246 miles a day assuming only used Monday to Friday...
Let's say he averaged 45mph for all of those miles - unlikely but that's nearly 6 hours driving every day!!! Jesus
About £30k worth of fuel too....Let's say he averaged 45mph for all of those miles - unlikely but that's nearly 6 hours driving every day!!! Jesus

Surely that is shared mileage - if a single driver he or she must be knackered!

Also knew a guy who was a self employed courier...put something like 20K miles a month on his van...how the heck he managed it and still slept I have no idea...
That's an average of 27 mph without stopping, ever.Allowing 16 hours a day, 6 days per week (so 96 hours' running time) that's an average speed of 48 mph. Unless he was literally going from motorway junction to motorway junction that would be extremely difficult to do, even assuming demand was there, he never got tired and fuelling and unloading barely took any time at all.

Fair enough, it's a taxi, but 900K miles and running with an MOT. For ~£500, someone should really take one for the team and aim for the mil.
Beyond about 250K, mileage ceases to be relevant imho.
This has done 900K miles, what are the chances that your 8-12K annual mileage will be the one to kill it?
200K+ Landcruisers also do little to deter me. Those have to be the most common mega-milers regularly found for sale on mainstream sites like AT, outside of stuff that's been cabbed ofcourse.

Wasn't there a guy that bought an ex Highways Disco, and uses it for his car delivery business racking up 100k a yr on top of an already mega mileage?
Yes. He was on the Disco3 site.Bought at 180k or so, and last i heard it was on 550k. He changed the engine at 478k for a fresh one from LR, i don't think there was anything wrong with the engine when it was removed either.
Not sure what has happened to it though.
EDIT.
FOUND IT....

Despite the reputation of Land Rover they seem to be able to high miles. There are always several around me for sale with 150k plus on them.One example, 2006 186,000 miles - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...
Although some brave pills needed for it's bigger brother like this 183,000 mile Range Rover - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...
