A couple of recent threads have been about cars with excessive mileage but still on the road, so I was wondering how many of us are in vehicles which have done over 100,000 miles.

Foggy's super Skoda has 132,000.

Footimad's perky Peugeot is at 103,000

My nifty Nissan topped 142,000 this week.

Anybody wish to add theirs'?[:)]
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

Not me - our Skoda is six years old and is way under average mileage thankfully!!!

I would like to point out that only half of my Skoda has done 132k .... the offside body is brand new :-)
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

We'll allow that Foggy, should blend in nicely [:D]

Mine is low mileage too, had it since brand new and only done 40K! It's an 03 plate. Can you tell I don't like driving. x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

My dad had a 1966 D reg viva brand new, it was awful!! I had a second hand old box style viva which was ok but no synchromesh on 1st gear so it was a pain to drive.

My little Citroen C2 05 plate just broke through the 40k barrier, had it from new, 3 trips to scotland, numerous to wales, luckily work is only 4-10 miles away in the last 3 years. Plus i had 18 months of no driving due to work commute via train (no i wasn't banned as many thought i had been!)

I've got a 55 reg Fiesta and it's done around 44k miles. I had it from 3 years old but I only do about 7k a year so hopefully it'll keep going!
