£550 Focus snotter. Bought it just before Christmas, treated it to a service, and basically put it to work as my business car. 2,000 miles all over the country, in all weathers, without so much as a misfire or a fluid top up needed. Still drives nicely too.

Reviving this, my car (which coincidentally was brand new when the last Post was made) hit 100k tonight. I got it at a year old with about 12k miles on it. Never let me down in all those miles.

I hit 100,000 about 2 months ago my old 09 Renault Twingo GT. (1.1 turbo petrol - Has about 102500 miles on it now). I've put 72,500 miles on it in my ownership.

It hasn't got anymore or any less reliable, something silly fails on it every six months like clockwork. No different to when it was on 30k nearly 9 years ago. hehe

That said the whole drivetrain is original, including the clutch. (It's original battery lasted until last year too). Which isn't bad for a car that has lived most of its life in London. It hasn't really been a motorway car, most of those miles have been city / town driving.

Any problems in your ownership?

I’ve been considering a leggy one of those recently

Mainly consumables - brake discs every 50k miles, tyres every 20-25k miles, brake pads (performance) every 20k or so.

Nothing material only thing that has broken in our ownership (4 years/55k miles) is one of the tiny coolant pipes running past the bonnet catch broke necessitating recovery and a new <£20 part.

Some parts are made of cheese - our windscreen has about 5 decent sized stone chips, no cracks, and potholes have had their way with the alloys which are quite soft - MOT last week pointed out that 3 of them are no longer round....and the other one has a small crack.
