200,000 Mile club

[anonymous-user]

I've just hit 200k this morning

2006 Audi A3 Sports back which I've owned since 2010. I bought it with 83k on the clock.

This dear old thing is currently sat SORN at 230k after being my daily driver for 4 years (I bought her with 172k IIRC).

Just need to get my ass in gear and get her back up and running with her bigger bottom end (ooh err).

snap- I have a black B3 GT wagon with 282000 miles on it

A few niggles that need sorting- cross member bushes, a rusty bonnet and a rear wheel bearing but don't want to take it off the road until I've put my e39 back together.

My old GT, cost me £90 with 202k and was on 232k when I sold it in 2006 (for £450iirc)


Of the current fleet two of the Corrado VR6s have over 200k and are far far from end of life! I think they are more like a middle aged person who has plenty of life in them but needs to take a few extra vitamins and a nap once in a while.

My Jaguar XJ was at about 170,000 miles when I scrapped it. With a new V mount and some rear suspension work it would have done the next 30,000 without too much issue I think, despite the transmission slowly falling to pieces.

The old girl is still going strong!

The exchange rate is 1:3 for normal miles and w124 miles!

When I saw the photo I was like, hmm that's a brand new merc, those easily did 800k to a million speaking kilometers, but I guess they'd do it in miles too Mercedes almost went bankrupt after making this model, because 30 years later they were still running like new, so noone bought a new one

[blongs]

A couple of months ago...now at 207,000 :-)

[CTS86]

My trusty old Civic just before I sold in May. Owned from new and it rarely put a foot wrong. Brilliant car.




Still got a bit to go with its replacement.

[Cliftonite]

This is from my bus:





Only five digits on the odometer, so after fifty years and several owners it is anyone's guess whether this is 400,000 miles. Or 500,000 or . . .

[GezG]

Sold my 2009 Passat TDI earlier this year on 275k miles, still on original Turbo, only big expense was clutch & DMF at 193k.
DPF still worked as it should etc as well.

Surely not millions and millions?


I drove a 08 plate Crafter with more than 400k on it tho

[Hasbeen]

1986 Toyota Cressida, bought new, retired to paddock duties about 4 years ago at 377,000 kilometres. [234257 miles, as we no longer needed it's towing capacity.

Has done another 6200 kilometres around the paddocks carrying tools etc. to repair pumps, irrigation, & bushfire pumps, & still going strong. More comfortable than a 4WD ute.

1999 Audi A6 C5

187k on 2009 Skoda Octavia 1.9 pd tdi

While all but 20k were vet miles (low speed/ lots of bumpy tracks stop/start it has had a new engine at 2.5y/ 62k miles due to the well known failure of BXE engines and a new dmf/gearbox at 105k presumably as it was slightly damaged when the piston traversed through the block. Suspension renewed at 150k. Retired to my wife at 180k.

If VAG group hadn't cut so many corners that the engine failed it would have been a damb good car. As it is I will be avoiding them for at least a while.

Turbo just went on the E46 touring at 240,000

[Kettmark]

204k on e46 330 ci sport. Had it from 2 years old & 34k, so over 12 years now. 27 stamps in the service book. Hoping to see 250k before the autobox packs up (sealed for life & never touched).

Only 2-3 weeks away from joining the club. The main oily bits seem to be cockroach tough, but the killer is the Trigger's broom cost of the other stuff, so may not see too many more miles - and .

[spikeyhead]

My Saab has been taken away after a van made a mess of the rear end, however it had made it to 218k miles.

Replaced with a Mondeo which only has 114k on it.

[GeordieInExile]

Bump for my 2005 Mini Cooper which is on over 220k and going strong.

(Although I did have it overheating today after the cap came off the coolant reservoir and it all boiled away...)

[DukeDickson]

Made it




Still going, but now I've reached the figure, time to move on (when I've worked out what next).
