v6 mileage

oldie · 6th September 2018, 23:15

Bit of a "How long is a piece of string" type question. However, any input regarding what sort of mileage the 2.5 v6 auto is reliably capable. Assuming reasonable service record. I'm looking for a high spec v6 auto tourer and they're very hard to find, at any mileage. Many diesels but few petrols.

I’ve had a few that have been in the 180- 200k range when I have sold them.

My 2003 2.5 V6 Auto has 300.000-ish KM! Except manifold , belts & gearbox oil no issues what so ever, drives fine.

I’ve got a 2.5v6 with 160k on - runs as well as any I’ve had. At one time it also seems to have done a 40k stint without an oil change!

I've heard of one that hit 400k.

Thank you all. I feel emboldened.

One of my 2.5 75s has done 235,000km ans still running sweet.
Had it since 30,000km and always had oil changed every 10k and belts etc done
on the correct times.
