05 Plate Mileages

SteVRs · 31-03-2005, 13:57

I've been slagged off by 'Er Indoors for the amount of miles I've put on my 05 plate vRS - it's up to 3100. I argued that most people with one would get the miles piled on ASAP to get them loosened up and more fun.

The query is, where's everyone at with their month-old cars?

Kansalis · 31-03-2005, 14:05

~1600 on mine, picked it up on 1/3/05. My drive to work is only 10 miles each way though, and I don't tend to use it much during the week.

Gizmo · 31-03-2005, 14:19

Mine's on about 1100 since the 1st. I foolishly guestimated my annual mileage to the insurance company at 12000 miles so haven't driven it as much as I want.

Andy vRS · 31-03-2005, 14:28

Mine is a private owned and bought car, picked it up Friday 11th March and now has 1200 miles on the clock.

**VRStu** · 31-03-2005, 14:44

SWMBO has just under 7k - registered 02/01/05

Kron_VRS · 31-03-2005, 15:02

Had the car for two weeks and she's got about 650 on the clock so far.
250 of those were from when I picked her up from the dealer in Lancashire and drove her home to Bucks.

I do about 50 miles a day so she should have about 1200 on the clock once the month is up.

Blimey! You'll be needing the 10k service in a month and a half if you keep that up!

In comparison, I've only managed a measly 2k miles since 1st March in my aging Fabia - 80k service here we come

Picked mine up on Tuesday and have done 400 so far. 200 a day. Crikey, that works out at 73000 a year at that rate

.

SteVRs · 31-03-2005, 15:51

Maybe I better calm down then!! It doesn't help doing 100+ miles per day to work

The The · 31-03-2005, 18:11

Only 800 here but i Use the bike when the current bun is out.

matchmaker · 31-03-2005, 18:17

4000 since December

Mind you, it's only 5 miles to work

Just as well that I don't have a baby VRS - it'd never warm up

You can ring the insurance company and up the mileage on your policy, I just did it, went from 6000miles to 15000... 6000miles wtf was I thinking when I took out my policy

darkseid · 31-03-2005, 19:53

Mines a 54 plate but picked it up on the 9/2/05 and have just clocked 11K racked up the 10 in 6 weeks. Company car so not bothered but definitly smoother now it has some miles on. Roll on june 1st booked in for the jabba treatment

Um, I lied. Got in my car last night & realised it has actually done just over 1900. How did that happen!?
