100,000 mile club.
Discussion
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.
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.

Our 2015 LCI BMW M135i ticked over 112k yesterday
Any problems in your ownership? I’ve been considering a leggy one of those recently
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.
