Most miles you've done in a car you've owned?

[E38Ross]

In your car history, what's the most miles you've covered with a single car, and why did you change (if you have)?

Only been 30k for my with my E21 316,changed as I fancied a change. Only done 10k in my E38 and now doing 15k per year, so if I keep it for a while it'll soon become the current car.

[FisiP1]

About 8k, I have had many cars and not been driving all that long.

[edition]

About 50k....

[Dalto123]

Technically I dont 'own' a car.

But Dad has had his Volvo V70 from new and done 135,000 miles

Getting replaced tomorrow.

[SuperHangOn]

About 50k although I don't remember many of them as they were sat out in a Mitsubishi Carisma

[Marf]

60k. Coming up on 50k in my current steed.

Honda Accord Sport cdti - took it from 6k to 90k in three years. Started spending too much money on maintenance. Most cars I change every 3 years, at about 80/90k.

I took the following from new...

'96 Vectra - 125,000 miles
'99 Accord - 130,000 (stayed in the company until 220,000)
'02 Civic Type R - 125,000
'53 Accord Type-S - 125,000
'54 Accord (yuk) diesel - 45,000

Spent far too much of my life in Honda dealer service areas.

I assume you ran the Accord Type S and the diesel concurrently?

[anonymous-user]

about 10k miles, but had about 30 cars in 11 years driving.

[ferraridave]

26000 miles so far and counting in my first car - who knows whether I'll do more in any other cars!

[Fidgits]

I did 60k in an is200..

About 45k in a z4m...

Least miles in a car were 3,000 in my Elise r in a year... I did 3 times that in the 360!

[the_kato]

90k on a V6 Cougar

[Jimbo.]

68,000 in an Alfa 146Ti.
Serviced properly twice in that period. Cambelt to double the recommended interval. Driven through an estuary, into some pointy Welsh geology, overloaded and ground out with regularity, parked by the sea for weeks/months on end, used as a van for filthy mountain bikes, thrashed around Mid/North Wales...

Yet it kept going.

God I miss that car

[StuartGGray]

Volvo 740 - bought with 102,00 miles on the clock. Sold with 320,000 on the clock.

[8potdave]

30k in my e36 328i. In all that time it cost me 2 rear tyres and a new bottom hose. Literally that was it!

Nah, it was a typo- the diesel Accord was a '55.
