A love a low mileage example as much as anyone but have a real soft spot for a cars with really high mileage.

Highest miler I had was my 04 Honda Accord with 165k on it so not mental really.

I wonder who currently owns the highest mileage car on RMS and who has owned the highest mileage in the past. Post a pic of your odo if you can sure and tell us a bit about the car and show us that service history 🤤

Bonus fact. There are 238,855 miles to the
moon.

My passat estate has around 233500 on it at the minute 😬

Still very presentable for the milage apart from some minor bubbling on the arches and boot.

2009 A3 1.9 TDI (BLS engine code)

We’ve owned this since 2011 when it had roughly 20k on it. Serviced every 10k without fail using quality oil and filters.

Original engine, gearbox and turbo.

If the clocks were covered you would genuinely think it has 100k on it. Looked after by the best @pobmk4 ;)

There’s at least another 100k left in it yet

I had a ZR years ago I bought with 30k when I got it, had to get rid and it had 135k. Only issue it had was the head gasket surprisingly enough (lol) and a wiring loom chafed in the boot lid!

No where near the highest miler but my 07 passat has 98k at the minute won’t be putting to many miles on it already hunting for something else

Forester before it had about 220k km but then again the engine packed in around 200k

The highest I have owned, was the Mk2 GTi Golf, with 172k on it.

I took a trade-in home one evening as I had loaned my car out to a customer. It was a 2016 A4 Avant with 266k on it. I was apprehensive at first, but 10 minutes up the road and I'd have happily put the family in it and set off for Cork, no worries!

I sold my B6 A4 a few months back with 384000 miles. It drove well but needed too much for the next test so sold it for £350 with 6 months test and bought another B6 instead for £800. Hoping to get it to 300K too.

Never mind got my sums wrong by a factor of 10 originally.... 1000 miles a week is still some going though

Volvo has 164k....... had a C class with around 174K before that.........................although when I saw it for sale a couple of years later it had 132k :laughing:

What's mad when you read threads like this is the amount of people I still hear that fear high mile cars and I have heard "a car's done once over 100k miles" in recent years :laughing: VRS is first car sub 100k I'd bought in a long time

My Merc cloth interior was like new with no bolster wear at all, probably how someone got away with giving it such a haircut!
Volvo has leather that's wearing well, had lady owner before and neither me or the wife are the biggest people in the world lol
