Added a few more thousand, not that much. I think it was about 142k when I sold it. That's the highest mileage car I've owned! The current Swift is on 87k.

Ye Olde Audi is currently on 142K. Not terribly high for the age I guess - M reg.

The 205 I owned that my dad bought new and that ended up in a ditch had

195,000 miles, the Carlton I sold in January had 182,000 miles.

My BX has a paltry 133,000 or so.

My mate has a G reg Cavalier SRi with something like 450k under it... in his own words, it's never even needed valve stem seals.

Wifes 525 was sold on with 185,000 on. Absolutely dead quiet engine but had always had fully synthetic oil its whole life.

Living somewhere in West Midlands now.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@pipex.net, Vamp decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

Alfa is on 95k Capri is on 83k

Highest mileage thing I've had in the last few years was the left hooker Golf GTi. A paltry 243600 miles when I sold it.

Current car 98 Volvo S70, 191k miles and counting. I've personally done 110k of them. No current intention to replace, yet.

Yup. My two Skodas had over 50k each on them too, and while one "caught fire" with the next owner conveniently after he took all the good parts off, and the other was very rusty, I believe both engines live on in other cars.
