Highest Mileage 172/182

Alex_225 · Mar 28, 2005

Just wondered whose done the highest mileage in a 172 or 182 and how well is it holding up??

Only interested as so many people moan about rattles etc but I wondered how they are after say 70-80k???

Dan## · Mar 28, 2005

Yozzas has done alot, not sure how many exactly!

Ang · Mar 28, 2005

mines done 17.5 k since last april.....

....not quite the 70k.....but its going strong....touching wood eveywhere !!

I always presumed these modern powerful engiunes should run miles and miles if looked after. BUt that many thread about leaking oil and the like, Ill be happy if mine makes 20K!

lol

Fred@BTM · Mar 28, 2005

leaking oil???? pah, just put more in

yoz is on 77K on a 52 plate IIRC

thrash the f**k out of them, they get quicker the harder theyre driven/the more miles you do

R20 CWH · Mar 28, 2005

this thread came up a while ago and im sure 80k was the highest mentioned, try a search

MarkCup · Mar 28, 2005

32K in 16 months. Several trackdays, and lots of hard driving...still doesnt rattle to this day.

I must have got a good one

my god 77k on a 52 plate, thats a fek load of driving.

My RT is on 83k today and is 10 years old. Slightly different use of car i spose, just amazed that many miles can be stacked up in so little time.

Totally agree! Mines on 47k now, done 20k in past year including trackdays and qtr miling, previous owner had it garaged everyday and only used it at weekends. Feels like its gettin quicker with age definitly! Killed 2 wheel bearings and a gearbox though!

182 on 15k since Mar 04.

Old Clio 1.2 16v did 32,000 and i got rid.

Slugger · Mar 29, 2005

I sold my Mk1 172 with 68k on it and there was nothing at all wrong with it

Alex_225 · Mar 29, 2005

Its good to know that although people moan about the build quality of these cars they seem to last pretty well!!

Ive only managed 11.5k since November 03, thats to work and back each day and a bit of leisure. Only rattle I got is the seat that reno fixed.

markh · Mar 29, 2005

Mines currently got 94,000kms on it.. Still going strong

JayGTT · Mar 30, 2005

so at the moment i have the highest milage

77178 miles to be precise.

billy182 · Mar 30, 2005

a lot higher than mine y reg 2001 ph 1 172 21,000 miles.

Alex_225 · Mar 30, 2005

only 21k since 2001 thats impressively low. How come its so low.

I mean I thought my average of 8000 miles a year was pretty low.

billy182 · Mar 30, 2005
