My brilliant 1.1 Passion has just clocked 99000 miles.  ;)

Well done

And in that 99000 miles how many things have gone wrong?

Gone wrong JJ? Truthfully, nothing, absolutely nothing. It has been totally reliable and never let me down or failed to start. Apart from routine maintenance items such as brake pads and discs, tyres etc the only things I’ve had to replace are two rear wheel bearings, track rod ends, the original battery after 11 years, the back silencer box after 12 years and one driver door handle cable. In summary it’s been absolutely brilliant and drives today as good as it did when I first bought it in 2006 at 10,000 miles. In addition, depreciation has been been markably low. Back in 2006 I paid just over £6500 for it. Today, to the right person it might make £1500.  ;)

Exactly the answer I was expecting

We forget that these cars are ultra reliable

In 4 years of ownership on my saxo VTR it had a new radiator (rotted through) and a new power steering pump

Looking at its old MOTs it was consistently falling apart

05 , failed one MOT light bulb., One new clutch and actuator. Now needs a rear wheel bearing. Perhaps  Mr Singh you need to turn up the radio ,and don't look under the car or lift the bonnet.

Perhaps a drive to New Zealand might fix it!
Happy motoring
