Done 110,000 in ten years ! Not bad considering its been in the garage since Aug 2000 when it went pop . Averaged 30,000 a year for the first three years commuting between Birmingham and Glasgow. No problems at all either

Apart from 2 headgaskets, a gearbox and power steering rack

8-12k every year, and I don't use my car for work . Those miles I would say 70% are abusive .
