High Mileage Club - 100K plus.

[v15ben]

My wife is currently trying to sell her Focus which recently hit 130k miles.
Got me thinking about high mileages and wondering who on here has a high mileage Clio Sport (or other vehicle).
Photos of big milers would be good too...

Can anyone beat the 130k Ford?

 

[Typhoon]

A friend has a 320D on 260,000+ miles!

 

[Mar172]

There was a clio 172 on eBay a few months ago with around 200k

 

[Typhoon]

This guy apparently hit 3 million miles..

That is the equivalent of 1000 miles a day for over eight years. 500 for 16 years ect.

 

[Paul.M]

On my driveway at present high milage wise we have..
101k clio 182
120k mk1 mx5
102k swift sport

The mx5 is a project but discounting that the other two you wouldn't guess had any where near that milage on them:

yeah good article. Guy is a bit mad though. Drives everywhere. Must have spent redicous amounts on fuel over that pariod.

 

[182Trophy]

Thought i would add my Trophy is on 109k. There are currently 10 for sale that I can find, all less than that. I know two people on here had 150 and 170k T's.

 

[Rob]

139k on my zim zimmer.

 

[ParisPeach]

126k on my 182

 

[mr_n]

Fletchers is around 146k currently.
118k for my 182.

[Gray]

The GF's 172 is on 106k miles.. driven daily, still going strong.

 

[Andy_con]

my 05 182 is on 150k

 

[Toastfrenzy]

My MK4 Golf GTTDI owned since new (2001) sitting on 240K miles and doing 20K year and will be forever

 

[imprezaworks]

My 02 is on 105k, engine sounds sweet as a nut

 

[Pauleds]

My 172 Cup is just shy of 173k, must be getting tired now though as it's dropped 3bhp since last November. 128.3bhp at the wheels last friday

 

[bloke]

My 02 is on 105k, engine sounds sweet as a nut

shame about the mirror covers though :fearscream:

 

[Gus]

Sold my 172 on 156k and that was still being run a good few years after that. Nothing wrong with it at all, all original clutch gearbox engine etc.

@adalis I think I saw you on the M40 southbound on sunday just gone. I was in the black 182 that went passed.

 

[imprezaworks]

Forum needs to have an unlike reply button. Some people have no taste

 

[bloke]

Some people have no taste :smile:

i know, i've seen the pictures of them!!!!!

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol. Will see you Thursday

 

[bloke]

okey dokey

 

[K_McDermott]

My old 172 got to 98k but had to get rid due to poor work by mechanic who did the timing service

Current mileage on my daily driver Bora 1.9 tdi its a pd115 which is mapped with a Decat running about 150-160hp

Only using it whilst I save for a good ph1 172

 

[Fletcher]

Fletchers is around 146k currently.
118k for my 182.

Yes mate, 172 is now on 146,500 but hardly moves now so mileage will rise slowly. I have done over 100k in my ownership mind.
Fabia VRS is now 103,000 miles.

Yeah that was me on my way back from Gaydon, I guess we could've met up in the end !

 

[Marcos999]

Had a Nissan primera at 180k and a pug 806 that was at 254k when I sold it. My 182 is just coming up to 110k, should get a few more years out of it.

 

[AlexW]

My Flamer DCi is at circa 184k, be a while yet before that goes up though. Other DCi clicked over 130k the other day.

Both cars show how much can be different between car thats looked after, and one thats not. While I abused my Flamer over the 40k+ Ive done in it, still on original clutch, turbo etc, whereas the other DCi has had loads of things replaced, and still needs more.

 

[car.crash]

Still going strong.

 

[STEVE.M]

126k on my 182

I thought you bought that last year with 54k on it?

 

[Damon65]

both my 172s are over the magic 100k. one sits at 109k and other is at 127k still both happy

 

[banther]

Mini Cooper S - 125k!

This guy apparently hit 3 million miles..
http://www.itv.com/news/2013-09-21/...rd-hitting-three-million-miles-in-1966-volvo/

In 3 million miles in which his car travelled, light would have travelled 1.7623767456e+19 miles.

Speed travels at 186,282 miles per second.
There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year.
X 3,000,000 miles travelled.

In simple terms, light travells around the earth 7.5 times a second.

 

[bashracing]

I used to work for merc we had sprinters come in from a frozen food company on 3 driver 8 hour shifts 20k service at 8 weeks old!!!! They were knackered at 18months old

 

[Mr Burns]

Boom.

Not bad for a 1.5 petrol eh!

So to conclude - light is quicker than a Volvo!
