Highest Mileage Clio?

[LB197]

So, My 1.2 2000 Clio just ticked over 120k miles, this is my perception of high miles, I laughed at my mate when he said he had high miles at 60k on an 03 plate.

So what are yours at?

 

[Fudge]

Highest I can find on auto trader at the moment

but there has definitely been higher on here along time ago Sir_Dave posted this

My dci 80 as 297.242 miles...

 

[Tunst]

Some guy had a dci van with circa 450k miles.. Do a search this has been covered a few times before..

 

[ben lee]

done 21,204 miles since 13/4/2013 thats a minimum of £4,240.80 in fuel

I know what you mean, i bought mine at 103,000 18 months ago, so i'm coming close to that myself.

So 119k miles is ok then lol.
Hopefully with new cambelt, dephaser and a few other anticilaries it will hold before the big bang.
Time will tell. It seems though that it had aged gracefully.
I dont want to think of an XU engine with this sort of miles.

Now on 140,400 It doesn't do many miles now. I hit 130k in 2010!
The engine is still fine and pulls very, very well.

IIRC someone has hit the magical 200k mark now.

 

[Chrisgti6]

There's a 197 on Autotrader atm with 162k on the clock!

I've already had the Big Bang, in the form of the head gasket going without warning half way round a roundabout, it's never felt the same to drive since I replaced it and I'm sat there sh***ng myself every time I hear a noise or feel a judder haha.

That was all at 112k so it's still going strong "touch wood".

 

[Kelv]

my Trophy was on 187k when it died, and our black ph1 is on 163k

 

[scotty10]

Christ i take it easy on my engine because its on 81k....off out to give it some lol

 

[Lal B3N]

My clio ruined various valves at pretty much exactly 100k whilst travelling some speed lol.

Astra also ruined headgasket and whatever other damage its caused at 300 mile short of 100k at nearly 150mph. I should give cars an easier life, maybe.

 

[Budgie]

My dCi's just about to tick over 180k.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Our old 172 was around 150K, and our 182 is 120K

Ive seen other cars with far less mileage and far less healthy engines than the 150K in particular.

Which leads me to make the (highly unsurprising) conclusion that other facts are FAR more important in the health of a F4R than the number of miles its done.

Id take a well maintained high miler used for long trips over a stop start shopping car making a few short trips a day to drop the kids off at school etc.

I think its the number of cold starts and the regularity of oil changed, and of course how it is driven, that are the biggest factors, mileage is a lesser one.

297 miles is hardly impressive

done 21,204 miles since 13/4/2013 thats a minimum of £4,240.80 in fuel

Did my £70 you scammed go towards that?

this, my 182 is on about same, 120k, and the engines a peach.

 

[Steven103]

Not a clio but...

Saw an AM V8 Vantage with 140,000 miles up for £40k earlier today. Granted it was a development car so had some dampers and carbon bits, but I thought the V8 vantages were circa 60k new?

Thats exactly how I chose my clio. I ve seen many other with half the milage but sounding unhealthy. Mine for some funny reason sounded quite sweet. Despite that a leap of faith is necessary.
I was pleasantly surprissed and releived when Mr MOT told me that the emissions were more than ok lol.

 

[cazzy]

Here my 172 Monaco add about another 400 miles to this

 

[Coops Mk1]

I get high mileage envy, I want mine to be highest!lol!

 

[Phase1Dom]

Mines just coming up to 125k , Mileage is only a number :race:

 

[danilogabriel66]

297 miles is hardly impressive

The engine died this month... now only works on 3 cylinder like 1.4 Tdi ... 1 injector and one piston died...

 

[willb1986]

205,000 on my 03 clio

 

[Kyle 86]

205,000 on my 03 clio

Very impressive

 

[mark smith87]

Mine has 140,000 on it now and it's still sweet. As long as its had decent oil and regular servicing then the engine should easily do really high mileage. Modern engines are built much better and synthetic oils have helped towards them lasting much longer.

 

[Reno172]

Mines just hit the 100000k still runs sweet as a nut! mark quite worried as to how far it will go Campbell got changed at 72k first car av had with mileage tht high she's getting a full service and new shoes tomorrow.)

 

[MarcB]

I hate to say it but i will never see my clio get to 100K

I cry if i have to use it for the shops

It's there to be used, i'd drive it everyday. haha

 

[Cooksport]

Mileage doesn't reaaaally matter providing it's cared for. Mines on 74k and on its 3rd engine...

But then again it's just a neglected mule/track day car

 

[Budgie]

'03 DCi80..

Pffff woman. My 172 is knocking 140k and my 225 just ticked over 62k. They're built to be driven ;-).

 

[Carlv8415]

My 182 had engine failure and was only on 54k

 

[182 cup 05]

mines sweet at 147k

 

[Alex_225]

I hate to say it but i will never see my clio get to 100K

I'd be surprised if I do too, my 172 is on 65k but I only do 5k a year in it so I'll probably sell it before the 100k mark.

Funny thing is 100k used to be deemed as a high mileage, now days it's fairly common and buying a well maintained car with that kind of mileage isn't a bad thing.

 

[xChewie]

My 04 plate 182 has just hit 119k and running as sweet as ever.

 

[Odyssey172 Dan]

my ph1 is on about 149k

 

[Mar172]

There was a 172 on eBay last year with over 200.000 on the clock

 

[DrR]

I imagine most clios have over 200 miles on them?

 

[Martin_172]

My DCi is just broken in at 160k!

297 miles is hardly impressive :wink:

in Portuguese they use . instead of , when writing numbers - if I remember correct!
