Anyone eles gone this far??

[mr singh]

im currently at 98,700ish miles... my uncle however with his honda civic 2.2 diesel has done 150,000+ miles

Mines nearly 93k, which means this time last year when I bought it with 76k it has trundled around a fair amount this year!

Still drives very nicely

Mine got to over 100,000 miles before part-exing it, just got too fragile to continue owning it.

Main worry was the auto box though?

...and you've already lost the cost of new gearbox on the first 6months depreciation on the corsa teasing!!

I saved £3k on the list price, so not too worried about depreciation. Plus already done 12k miles in 6 months.

As for the forfour, yeah the gearbox was feeling like it was on the way out; the threat of spending a few thousands on putting the gearbox (and other bits) right compared to the value of the vehicle was the nail in the coffin.

It's a shame you left the forfours unknown, but its good you are back here with your advice.

My cdi is on 82k ish at present and counting daily

i should have mentioned that my uncles Honda civic is a 2006/06 registered car.
and also a quick update about mileage on my forfour, it ticked over to 99,000 miles on the way to Wales (Clyro to be exact) yesterday and when i got back to Leeds it was at about 99,200. i think in about a months time (possibly less) ill be part of the 100,000 mile club,

My Brabus is just approaching 68,000 miles, and still running just fine.

Any car I've had previously that had over 90,000 (most of my cars actually) have had some problem or other - be it the standard Peugeot burned out electrics, or my Primera with its litre of oil per 500 miles.

I'm hoping that with some TLC, regular oil, and mostly friendly driving, my Brabus will last well into the 6 figures.  Perhaps with some new shocks and the like.

Mine is at 115575 miles (186.000kms actually) with no mechanical failures, just brakes and some suspension bits changed. I should have 200.000kms by the end of the year. I feel that this car cares about me at least as much as i care about it, and it won't let me down.

[Razz Driver]

Wow!! Just gone past 154000 miles, fantastic.

[Problemchild]

Another 13k miles in 9 months - wow that's 4 years worth of motoring for me

On Autotrader as of today there's a CDi with 167000, a 1.1 Passion with 120000 and a few others approaching or just past 100000.

Just goes to show how reliable and dependable our lill 'charm boxes' are 

[Brabs]

Indeed they are. For a small mass produced hatch they are a well engineered mix of MB & Mitsubishi technologies. Looking back through the list of reported faults/issues on this forum it occurs to me that there are relatively few serious issues, especially taking into account the age of our cars.
