High milers....

L8 JDO · 19-04-2008, 20:29

Just returned from holiday in Tenerife and whilst out there we used a few taxi's. Most are Mercedes E classes but there are a few Toyota's and most importantly a few Octavia's. Anyway, long story short version (and being a bit of a sado) I decided that I needed to get a ride in an Octy. Well the first one was a 2.0 TDi estate (MK2) with DSG and I had a quick look at the speedo and noticed it had done just under 300k kilometers - very impressive I thought. My next ride was a Merc E class with over 900k kilometers on the clock and the 3rd was an Octy Mk1 1.9 TDi estate with just under 700k kilometers.

Clearly, the taxi drivers dont mind a few miles but most impressive is that none of the vehicles looked like they had been to the moon and back, OK, they had a few scrapes etc but not bad considering the mileage.

So I guess the question is, who has the highest mileage on the forum then.

Mines nothing special - 27k...

ATB, Jon.

I've seen a Y-reg facelift Octavia that has been used as a cab all it's life with 480,000 miles. I think it is still being used actually!

Lowflyer · 20-04-2008, 14:46

My 05 is on 66K miles...but I think the highest on the forum will be a lot more than that!

300k on a dsg. i wonder if it is still on the original clutch pack

slider · 20-04-2008, 17:10

50K on a October 55 car. But recent change of job means about 800 mile a week, so expect 80+ in a years time.!!

tomo2001 · 20-04-2008, 17:25

90k on 54plate 2.0tdi Elegance.
54k on engine no.1
36k on engine no.2

dstev2000 · 20-04-2008, 18:43

I wanted to ask a few questions but he was a bit of a grumpy sod and my spanish isnt very good! It was smooth on the change though and the car pulled really well on some very steep hills. Lots of wear around the gear lever gaitor (to be expected I guess).

Nothing special here - just short of 27k on a '56' plate (Feb 2007).

Tom_vRS · 22-04-2008, 15:51

23k on my 06 plate!

DrRusty · 22-04-2008, 22:20

**mannyo** · 23-04-2008, 08:25

mr.houghton · 23-04-2008, 10:16

10k since 31st of jan 2008, need to stop going places i think.

MidVRS · 23-04-2008, 11:47

Just about to replace my '05 Altea 1.9 TDi S and it has 110k miles on the clock...Have had it since 900 meters and it hasn't given me one single problem....Expecting the same from its replacement, and Octy RS TDi, and this level of reliability from a 'budget' brand!....

ClarkE_123 · 23-04-2008, 16:49

Coming up 40K, only about 5k mine though, on 06 plate VRS TFSi.

Would be interesting to know who has the most on the TFSi, saw another thread on here and there weren't too many figures higher than mine.

cj_uk · 24-04-2008, 07:19

21K on my 9 month old 2.0 TDI L&K

d0ss · 24-04-2008, 16:15

108K on my 1.9TDi Octy, had it from 101K (just under 6 months). Just got my first fault too intake flap motor.

Still impressed with it though.
