OK, so not many miles in the grand scheme of things, but what a mental car to do them in! Any sane person's idea of a sensible long distance commuting barge has 900ps.

I wonder how many super cars have higher top speeds that are in production today? Not many

Sitting at 6,500rpm in this v12 the turbos blasting but utter silence inside the cabin.
Likely quicker point to point (with autobahn) than flying & if comparing to first class miles cheaper too. Bliss.

Would love to know what sort of person owned this and managed the miles on it.

Some sort of captain of industry over seeing their industrial empire sites that did the maths vs flying first / business class I would have thought.

As above...

That must be immense.

Have a couple of friends who drive fully loaded S350's, that 900 must be awesome, all the comfort and the power much be immense.

What did the 900 cost new?

It won't have done those miles in a city. That's pounding the motorways stuff.

Surely it's massively over priced too?

But what constant use would it have had to do those miles if not a taxi?

Those companies that let you hire these cars put low mileage limits on them, so I doubt it's that. Wedding companies carry the cars to near the location.

Someone that doesn’t like to fly but travels for business?

That makes the most sense to me: although it seems a lot of money, compared to running an exec jet may well work out less - especially if that first owner got a good deal on an ex press fleet car.

It’s only an average of 124 miles a day

Citroen C6 with 303k miles. Looks OK in the photos. Seats still in good shape.

The C6 looks good for the money if you can ignore the front bumper.

This looks like properly miserable way to cover 360,000 miles...

That's a lot of takeaways dropped off!

Sadly though, it would appear to be a typo, last MOT in August showed 31k miles, so I assume it's now on 36k.

The dealer has put the decimal point in the wrong place. The MOT history shows it'll be 36k.

Also a 4 year old Dacia sandero with 491k on the clock, wtf?

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202008212...

Doh! Just noticed on interior shot the dealer has added an extra digit by mistake...

I'd say pretty miserable etc still applies though 😉

Yeah, I think it's one of the few cars I think I'd rather catch the bus than drive.

I’m looking to replace my Mercedes wagon soon..
Looks tidy enough at 314k miles.

One day I’ll buy something like this just to see what it’s actually like to live with. They don’t seem to struggle to get to that mileage but who knows what it’s like going forward.

It does, you have to wonder what other marque's interior would look like that after 314k.

I am tempted to get it as a work car to see how much further it would go. Interesting to see that the tyres appear to be Michelins.

My current W203 is on 250k miles and very easy to live with (fingers crossed). Serviced once a year under the arches for fluids / filters and normally needs the odd bush or drop link replaced for the MOT.

It’s all a bit of luck, but based on experience mercs with big miles don’t scare me too much. They seem to love being used and are at their happiest pounding up and down the motorway networks all day every day. It’s when they sit around for long periods and get used infrequently that the gremlins come out to play.

In a previous life I would often get a taxi to the airport paid for by the company. That taxi would be a E220 CDi from a local company. They ran them to 300k miles.

The condition they were in at 10 miles versus 299200 miles - there wasn’t much between. Fantastic things.

My perception, probably wrong is that the minute you do normal short journies, it sts itself
