What Shed would go the longest without any money being spent

[Gandahar]

Every Friday we see Shed of the week.

Which though is the shed that would last longest if you did not do anything to it apart from fill it with petrol and put it in for it's MOT?

No mechanical help at all, it just has to keep running. And running.


Dan Trent, if you are reading this, why not spend some of the PH money giving 20 or so PH people £1000 each for a "long termer" and see which lasts the longest without any repairs.

Could be quite good fun.

Based on my own limited experience of shed motoring, my W202 C250TD Estate. Bought for 700 pounds as a stopgap with 12 months MOT, so didn't own it for long but it had done 218k and still felt tight as a drum mechanically. Granted not everything on it worked but I would have liked to have kept it and seen if I could have got it to 300k without major expense. It felt like it could have made it there!

Maybe something such as an older Hilux or L200?

[Krikkit]

K10 Micra, surely?

[Crafty_]

Surely condition of said shed would be more important that make/model ?

Late 90's petrol Honda or Toyota.

My money would be going on a Volvo preferably owned by an old boy who's maintained it very well.

Toyota avensis petrol

Japanese, low mileage, serviced to schedule, then actually try to kill it, you will not be able to, ever.

Give it a few years of zero maintenance and the rust will get you.

Bought a 1995 Honda Accord with six months test for 150 quid last week. Had to put an exhaust on it - 60 quid - and it will undoubtably fly through its next test. It's lovely. Cruise control, just about working ac (a regas will sort it I think). Very little rust - wheel arches are starting to go but you could save them easily!

A tatty merc W124 of course!

[singlecoil]

RWD Volvos are pretty good in that respect.

[Rosscow]

I reckon a hard wood one with a tiled roof.

Not any old crappy treated softwood shed with a felt roof!

1980's and possibly early 90's - I'd agree with you. Late 90's onwards they seemed a lot better.

Peugeot 405 - last of the bullet-proof Pugs. I had a 1.8 petrol went for 2 years with nothing done to it. Would have sailed through into year 3, except for the old duffer that ran into the back of it and wrote it off...
