High mileage.

[MerlinL14]

I have an almost 1 (one) year old Fiat van, 67,000 miles on the clock, 3 sets of tyres and 4 services already. I have it on a 3 year lease, it's going to be worth zippo at the hand back stage.

That's pretty good mileage Skip, below average.

Marksam1 - hope you are ok? That sounds like a bargain!!

Our Landy has done 128000 but it is a diesel so fingers crossed should be good for lots more. Sons mk3 Golf has 154000 and still going strong.It was a wright off when we bought it for him 7 years ago and he has has a new front end on it since as he hit a gatepost and two trees a couple of years ago but as hubby does all of our car work and we know a tame paint sprayer we manage to keep the cars on the road and looking good quite cheaply

My poor little Citroen C2 1.4 2007 plate hit 75k last night! Its mainly motorway driving as before i lived with my BF i lived 300 miles away so every weekend it had 600 miles put on it for 6 months plus the 200 a week i do for work!

I moan about it as it is always having electrical faults (beeping when I apply the breaks, telling me that all the lights have failed when they haven't), a leak from somewhere that soaks the back seats and a bit in the boot (god knows where it is coming from as its only one strip at the back of the boot and back of the seats)

But all in all it a cheap run around car. It is amazing to think in nearly 5 years I have done that much mileage. It was brand new when I had it! Only 3 miles on the clock!

(god knows where it is coming from as its only one strip at the back of the boot and back of the seats)

do you have a sunroof?

[lizwalker]

No I dont! All seals are fine on windows. Wondering if it is coming up from below the car? Its just one strip right at the back of the boot and the back of seat.

our 4 year old passat, done about 100k, but then when we live in the middle of nowhere and hubby does 300 miles a week just getting to work and back it's going to rack up isn't it? god help us when fuel goes up AGAIN in January, we will be needing to increase our monthly fuel allowance that's for sure, which is already 10% of our take home pay

My mileage may well go up now, daughter passed her driving test yesterday! I put her on our insurance as she can afford to pay the extra (from her Saturday job) so it won't affect my IVA payments.

It's the one time I feel bad I should have bought her a car or at least helped towards one but can't and this is all I can do so she can be mobile. I just hope she's careful and others are around her as I can't afford to be without one either!
