Most Miles in a One Car?

[v15ben]

Just been reading the longest you've owned a car thread and wondered what the most miles you've put on one car is.

The most on one of my own is 38,500 miles in just over 2 years on an '03 Yaris including a 5K mile road trip round Norway and Sweden. Only got rid after someone pulled out without looking and wrote it off.

My current '13 Berlingo Multispace is about to tick over 30K miles with me and I can see it staying for plenty more years, so it'll pass the Yaris by the end of 2023.

How about you?

2003 octavia vrs, owned from new to 2011 and covered 78000.
Every other car has been less than 10k in a couple of years.

My 2008 Cayenne S had over 180,000 miles on it when I sold it to a neighbour for peanuts. She still has it at 201,000 miles and still going strong.

[kiethton]

7k mikes to 95k mikes in just under 3 years in a Vauxhall Astra sporthatch

[Jakg]

115k in an MG ZT over 6 years. Definitely going to get beaten.

[bloomen]

185,000 in a Peugeot 206.

If we keep it in the family around 350,000 on a Saab 9000 passed on to me be a relative halfway through.

Both rusted to death with plenty more to go otherwise.

90,000 miles on Golf GTD in just under 4 years.

The most I've put on a single car would probably be my 306 GTI-6. Bought at 128k and currently on 183k, so I've done 55k in it so far.

137,000 miles in Ford Focus mk1 over 7 years. It never missed a beat. Wonderful car.

[mmm-five]

150,000 on my Z4MC (still increasing)

110,000 on my Corrado VR6

105,000 on my first e34 M5

[Brett748]

54,000 in a new Seat Ibiza 1.6 FR TDI in just under three years.

I did a fair few motorway miles and as a poor graduate the 65mpg combined was great.

Not moon mileage but my mileage post covid is so low I doubt I will do more in a car.

Got a 2017 Astra in May 2018 on 15k miles, got rid in December 2022 on 120k miles, so 105k miles in 4.5 years. The majority of those miles were between purchase and the end of 2020.

Would still have it now, but despite the mileage the DPF got blocked, as well as the fuel injectors and needed quite a lot of money spending on it, and I was thinking about changing cars anyway.

2012 Toyota Hilux- had it brand new and put 237k on in 10 years. It was a company truck at my previous company.

Never broke down in 10 years. Only serviceable items changed throughout the duration i had it. Power steering pipes were replaced due to them rusting away but still on original turbo gearbox clutch etc. Unbelievable reliability!

[JakeT]

53k on my current 330i touring, want to take it to at least 200k.

My dear dad had a BMW X5 new in 2003, on 263,000 miles now.

[thebraketester]

147,000…. Still got it, currently on 160k

[Doofus]

I once put 78,000 on a car in fifteen months.

Hated that job...

[ToothbrushMan]

1986
Mini 850cc
18 months
43000 miles.

[100SRV]

About 80,000 in the 100" Bowler I built.

when I started work in the early 90s we were given Astra Merit Diesels 3door the cheapest co cars money could buy. Did 60 000m per year round the farms. They were knackered after 2 years went away at 3 years VERY knackered!!
