1) Grand Scenic 55-plate 1.9dCi (F9Q) 6-speed manual: 115,000 miles on 9K oil changes since new, always on C3 grade oils. Engine never needed a spanner. Just electrical items like dash, parking brake, window regs., keycards, etc. Cost over last 4 years: 27 pence/mile including depreciation, insurance, tax, fuel, maint. etc. 42mpg.

2) BMW 1998 E36 323i (2.5 litre straight six) Saloon, 5-speed manual: 220,000 miles, also on 9-10K oil change intervals of Castrol Magnatec 10w40. Never missed a beat in last 5 years, needing only alternator and cat outside regular consumables. Total Cost over last 5 years (75,000 miles): 27 pence/mile including depreciation, insurance, tax, fuel, maint. etc. 32mpg. Heading for 250,000 before I even think about replacing it? Why take scrappage on a good car?

I picked up my renault Laguna 2002 1.8 petrol 4 months ago with 115,000 on the clocks :eek: now runing 122,658 and no problems yet! (touch wood, Im too broke to fix it if it does go kaput!) altho I might add I know the previous owner and it was NEVER serviced never had an oil change, still had the original plugs in and filter, the only thing that car ever got was a thrashing and new tyres when it required, but that wasnt untill the canvas was hanging out D: its a stupid thing to not look after your car really, ive serviced it and maintained it well and its doing me good so far !

Laguna 1.9 Initiale, 162K miles, just done 3K of them in August down to the south of France. I did major service before I left, Oil, coolant, water pump, belts and EGR valve. Oil and water levels still the same, did 53 MPG on the computer and 57 MPG when I did a brim to brim fill. Climate did not work properly (too cold and iced up) but changed the evaporator sensor this week and now it works perfectly. :d

88,000 is nothing for one of these excellent little cars.
Keep it well serviced and watch electrical faults with the key and immobilser, though. If that little red lamp on the dashboard flashes rapidly when you turn the key to start and nothing happens, be prepared for a wait for the AA.

Current Meg will probably just about eke 101k before it goes to the Nurburgring in the sky (never did get to take it out there for a well-earned thrashing, lol). If it gets close enough I'll just drive round and round the block until the clock reads 101,010 then park it where it falls :D

Incoming Clio already has 117k. Hopefully I can keep it until it passes 150?

Bizarrely my car history seems to be one of increasing terminal miles, even as I gradually pay more for the vehicles themselves. I don't get it!
