Chris AME Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just was wondering what was the highest mileage people on here had on a car they had owned past or present, and what make model they were, I have a p11 gt as a second car which has just clocked 211k miles as a starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveparkin Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 When I was 17, my old man bought a Nova 1.2i saloon for me to learn in - it was 3 years old and bought from a driving instructor. It had 160k on it then at 3 years old, and the instructor claimed it had never had a new clutch - proof that it had so little torque that even learners couldn't toast it! We took it up to 193k in the next couple of years, and the only problem it gave was a rear wheel bearing due to a bent stub axle - presumably caused by a learner 'parking' it on a kerb. It was terrible to drive, but a remarkably robust little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I had my Escort RS Turbo from new (1989) and sold it in 2001 with 116k on the clock. When I sold it it still had the original clutch, exhaust and Turbo and the brakes lasted until 80k. Other than the normal consumables the only thing that had to be replaced was the fuel pump, twice in fact at 43k and 80k. Sadly the car had considerable rust on the inner wings and underneath but the guy who bought it off me completely rebuilt the car and according to the DVLA site its still on the road.

Leeroy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Puggy 106 1.5 XRD 156K was only on 65k when i got it and had it for a year and a bit Jeez that must have been a painful year! I used my wife's 1.4d 106 for a few months and hated pretty much every minute. The soggy suspension was fun at times though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
