Default Annual mileage - ooops.......

This year my S1 hasn't even done 150 miles and I doubt very much I'll go much past 200 this year, if at all what about you lot then (who's cars run, have an engine, are in one piece etc ) ? Anyone reckon they'll do less than me ? Who's RS on PF is the high mileage merchant ?

I reckon my old red s2 did the most miles as a daily runner.

Must have done (and still do atm) 70 miles a day to and from work.

I think its on 134k or summat now, but doesnt use any oil and is quiet.

Insurance mate. To get the premium down to a sensible level I've had to limit the annual mileage. Try insuring an RST with double the power it left the factory with .Glad I have a Fiesta RS Turbo to play in as well

Very much the same mate. In the 3 years i've had the car i've done no miles in it bar the Mega Thrash's and the odd track day or blat about.

Unfortunatly alot of the insurance companys i've tried can't do limited mileage for less than 4000 miles! I've come knowhere near half that! LOL.

The cars only done 39,000 miles

the estate has done more miles on the back of a trcuk than under it's own steam in the past 3 years (about 200 tops )

mind you, i was doing around 80,000 miles a year in the van when i was on the road a few years ago, year before last i knocked up about 45k and last year i've probably done around 6k

also found that he least amount of mileage they do is 4k per year

Mine has done about 750 miles this year

Why is it that they get used so little…..my reason is

a) Not enough time
b) Its not stored at my address so it’s a pain to go and get

I remember somebody put a picture of a Galaxy up on here that had done 550,000 miles+

And that was ages ago, if it carried on like it had, it must have got 650,000 or more now?
