This is aimed at road going cars only, not laid up restorations smile

I can beat that on my MX-5 before I got it. The previous owner emigrated and her dad took it out for a drive occasionally:

Between August 2002 and April 2004 (18 months confused) it did 213 miles rolleyes

Not previously owned - but the previous owner did that.

My mum must have done similar in her old Pug 205 - 1 mile each way commute 5 days a week 50 weeks a year = 500 miles!

Had a pug 306 that did 2 miles between MOT's.

Had put on a new MOT to sell it and got tired of silly offers so gave up. eventually tried 18 months later.

Only reason it did 2 miles as we moved house...

Although a relation has a car thats done 0 smile
Thats right, it went to the mot, passed, got insured, taxed etc and didn't move until the next mot, which it duly passed.

If company cars count..

We had (going back a few years) a 2.0 Astramax Van that was literally never used. 13 miles between MOT's.. that's 6.5 miles driving back from the garage the year before and 6.5 miles driving to the garage for the next MOT. Believe it or not, it (along with others) was even serviced by a mobile mechanic inbetween the MOT dates wobble

My old boss did that, although the bike garage was 18 miles away, so he had 36.

4 miles on wifeys old Quiksilver.

It never concerned me, but the nutter who bought the car for his son made a big deal out of it being very odd, to the point where I was ready to show him the door because he was pissing me about and had already spent nearly 2 hours testing and criticising every aspect of a 7 year old Peugeot 106.

My dad did around 700 miles in his Seven last year. Lots of bad weather prevented much use!

Just over 600 miles, which included a 350-mile trip to the MOT centre. redface

A friend of mine does fell-running, we worked out that in that year he had run further than I'd driven...

You are all amateurs! The MOT certificates for my Silver Wraith from 15th April 2005 to 24th April 2009 show 96 miles covered.

Not that this is something to brag about as cars need to be driven. This was for the four years before I bought it last June. Since the 2009 MOT to 2010 MOT I have driven 3221 miles in it . . . a much better scenario for the car which is now getting loosened up after years of skulking.
