Highest mileage CDT - Page 41

2750 HP · 22nd March 2016, 21:18

242,000 currently - purchased in August 2008 with circa 50,000.

Only thing that has ever failed is the thermostat. Car is regularly serviced though as it used for work all over the country is a little scruffy. Shiny 260 for a toy!

I did some Airport Runs for a friends firm last year - they paid for my PHL which I will not renew next month - and I drove a wide range of vehicles all with what I would consider "Starship" milage and yet they all drove really well.

Surprisingly well in fact.

The worst for me were the Mondeos - bad seats, dash bits falling off and rough engines.

Two of the best were Toyata Avensis estates with 487K and 500Kplus (the last one had had a new speedo so the actual milage was estimated but well over 500K) - seats were comfortable and supportive, engines smooth, quiet and powerful.

The Mercs were really good of course - super lux

The most fun? - the Seat Alhambra and the Ford Galaxy - surprisingly nimble and fun to drive and with a prodigious load lugging ability. - Both had over 350k miles but the Ford interior was wearing better than the Seat.

Hi milages on well maintained cars is not so much an issue these days.

My ZT CDTI has covered 298,752 miles.
It's by far the tightest, quietest and most reliable ZT or 75 that I've owned. I believe it's mainly due to having as many oil services as is recommended, every 7000 miles and always with Mobil1 or Castrol. I don't KNOW if brands are particularly different so Ive simply followed the previous owners lead.
It's also always been fixed symetrically. All parts fitted have been original and it has only ever been serviced and repaired by Rover trained mechanics and recently, super enthusiasts.
I should at this point give a shout out to the Midland Nano Crew and co, who empower me to maintain my own vehicle where possible.
