Currently BMW 318i Touring (2000) with 105k on it. Everythign works, car looks great for its age.

Highest I've personally seen was a mate of my dads,a 1.0 Micra used for work. He worked for a water company and had to travel about a lot. they didn't provide a car but did give mileage so he got the cheapest to run car he could. Over 200,000 miles. I think it had an exhaust outside regular servicing/wear and tear like pads/discs etc.

Had a Nova 1.2 petrol that did 220k before I gave it to my brother.

Currently got an 04 diesel Mondeo on 157k, still returns over 60 MPG on long runs.

My 320d had 135k on it, did 60MPG on motorways easy! Most of the miles was more recent, around 80k in the last 4 years. Just swapped it for Zafira diesel with 56k on it but still miss my old car .

Collegue of mine did 200k on a Petrol Almera, total respect for him!

sold my Subaru 2.0 legacy estate with 154,000 on Ebay, put it on a BIN and it was gone within 2 hours :T

Now driving an Isuzu Trooper swb 3.0 TD with 168,000. MY OH bought it with 30,000 and racked it up on the motorway.
Both cars very reliable with only tyres and standard servicing each has had a replacement clutch and cam belt but thats it

my DAF 45 truck- ex postoffice is on 335,000 kilometres and drives like new

354,200 on a 1991 Merc 3.0 diesel estate & running very sweetly on veg oil at the moment. But then it was built before the accountants took over at Mercedes Benz.

265,000 miles on a 1.8 petrol Primera when sold.

Currently have a 1.6 Focus on 90K and a 1.6 Mitsubishi on 109K.

20 years ago a company I worked for used Cavaliers for running round the country doing long journeys, they regularly did over 400k in three years mostly without major problems. I think it was doing long journeys and not so much traffic then.

A driver told me the taxis are operated for three years before it is taken out of service and does about 800/900K miles in that time.

800k in 3 years? That's a constant 30mph without ever stopping. Wonder how much more they need to average to cope with refueling and picking up passengers?
