70 should be average, at least it is when I am busy, plus my dads car is being welded so I will need to do shop runs etc. Old cars in order of bought Jan 2007 - Fiesta 1.1 MK3 N reg, had 101k on the clock, sold at 104k when the engine died sold in Oct 2007. My dad ended up using this. Oct 2008 - Fiesta 1.3 MK4 N reg - 67200, sold at 67500 - it was a shed, I rushed into it with all the excitement of just passing my test! March 2009 - Corsa 1.2 16v V reg, bought at 81k, sold at 83k when the head gasket went. The Fiesta (dads) had 62,000 when we bought it, so he has put quite a bit of miles on it.

'97 Ford Escort Ghia X 1.8 petrol manual 109,999 miles (as I pulled onto the driveway 20 minutes ago!) I could list the start/finish mileages on all 30-odd cars I've owned and a similar number of vans/lorries I've driven, but I won't. Suffice to say that from 1994 to 2007 I racked up circa 100,000 miles p.a., but have dropped to 15k a year as I'm no longer doing it for a living.

As I am sure you know its due to a service every year anyway. My mates Panda has only done 4000 and he's had that over a year. I am in walking distance to all my local shops so I don't even need the car for that purpose. I have also been quiet so not been using the car as much as planned. I don't regret buying it though, my blood preasure feels a lot lower now. Reply to this message | Report message

It will probably have about 15,000 miles on it if I don't crash it by then!. It all depends what happens with my parents finances but the Fiesta is being welded up tomorrow ready for another years life. If it can then pass another MOT next year I might be able to sell the Panda to my dad so it will then be kept in the family for many many years. My dad keeps his cars until the engine either blows or it is no longer possible to keep up with the welding. I aim to get it up to 700 miles by the end of the week if I have jobs or not, just to get some use out of it :). Reply to this message | Report message

2006 55-reg Subaru Legacy: 122,000. I'm delighted to see that it's the car on here that has clocked up miles at the fastest rate, even if only 16/17k have been in the last 18 months that I've owned it. (Considering that it never goes anywhere during the week, and about half the weekends of the year it only pootles a few miles, I think that's quite a good mileage!) And indeed I think there are only a couple of Mondeos, a W124 and Cliff's sheds that have done more miles in total. Reply to this message | Report message

They've both been looked after (at least since we bought them); regularly serviced and oil/filter changes every 6000 miles. The older one - mine - has done mostly motorway miles as well which helps I think. Reply to this message | Report message

I too had an Espace (1988F) which did over 120,000 miles without major problems: I can remember 123456 coming up on the odometer. Renaults of this era, and in the 1990s like Ash's, were mostly reliable. Quality went downhill after about 2000 but getting better again now I believe. I'd guess that most of the cars mentioned above with six-figure mileages have had regular oil changes. Reply to this message | Report message
