220 000 km soon (138 000 miles), so far all wheel bearings have had to be changed, new shocks, new ARB bushes, central locking radio, left rear brake caliber, and a ton of H7 bulbs.

Next repairs are rear ABS sensor and new clutch, and general inspection of whole car with endoscope for broken wires, hoses, starting leaks etc...

G'day, mine at 113000km just run in.....lol.

~241.000kms so right around 150 thousand miles myself with my '04 1.3 manual.

Barely passed the 250K km mark 1.5 years later. From doing 45.000kms in the first year to 10.000kms in the last 1.5 years...

Ha ha, my barely run in 1.1 Passion has just passed 96,000 miles and runs as tight as a drum. 

Mine is around the 96,000 km mark. Just changed a bearing and otherwise.... Smooth as silk.

Mine is not really moving from about 196,000 miles.  It has been relegated to 3rd car status and only gets occasional use.  I’m still looking forward to it hitting 200k miles :-)

ill buy it if and when you sell it. iv got a thing for 'high' mileage cars... there was an audi a6 on ebay a few months back with 600,000 miles and it was 10 years old. id have snapped it up if it were a little south of the £10,000 they wanted (drop a few 00's and id have had it)

looking back to my 1.1 it would have been at 170,000 miles... oh how i miss my 1.1

Thanks Mr Singh, will bear that in mind!  I would really like to see it go past 200k in my ownership.  If it lasts long enough it will probably go to live with my daughter in a year or two when she gets to the point of needing a car.

MOT passed today with only two advisories - one for "offside play in steering rack inner joints" and another for a leaking oil filler cap.  Replacement filler cap ordered from Amazon for £2.30.  Once that is here the engine will need a clean to get all the oil off. My guess is that it didn't seal properly after it was removed for the service a couple of months ago.

It has only done 3,000 miles in the last 18 months so it may be a while before it hits 200k!

Finally made it today - my ForFour (well, my daughter’s now) hit 200k miles!

I would post a pic if I knew how :-)

congratulations on hitting 200,000 miles. had i not bought mt XF, i recon my SB3 would be over 150k by now.

270tkm passed and ~4k€ worth of maintenance repairs done to it... in a year 

Basically only the engine, transmission, exhaust, interior panels / cloth and wire harness are still pretty much original. Pretty much all spinning mechanical parts replaced and still not everything is fixed... (wipers need attention at next summer... the front wiper is wobbly and rear one is starting to be sticky)

Well part of the reason is I chose a bad garage to do fixes and they clearly didn't know what they were doing...

As you state that the rear wiper is 'starting to be sticky', why not fix that yourself
instead of waiting until you have to buy a new rear wiper moptor assembly ?

There is a detailed Technical Guide on this Forum that takes you through all the
steps you need to do to fix it before it is too late, and it costs little but your
time, a few tools, and some copper grease.

Oh and your garage does know what they are doing....they are 'milking' you
of your hard earned cash and putting it into their pockets. Change garage.

Pleased to say that "my" 200k mile ForFour has needed very little in the way of maintenance other than consumables.  The dreaded rear bushes were done maybe 6 or 7 years ago and the aircon hasn't worked for years (I really wish now that I had paid to get that fixed, but who knew the thing would still be in the family and running now??).

My daughter has got it booked in for a service next week and then an MOT in the New Year (not how I would have done it, but it's her task to sort it out) so I've got my fingers crossed that here won't be any big surprises.
