Nug878 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Out of interest, what's the highest mileage everybody's seen on a car? I know someone who has a K-reg Peugeot 106 XN 1.4D last time I saw it a couple of months ago it had 192,000 on the clock. Mostly origanl parts. Still going strong, although very slow and tired. Poor thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug878 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 i 'think' he sold it to one of his mate for something like £50 did i mention it was an ex taxi Oh the words "ex taxi" just reminded me. My mate's Dad: Peugeot 806 (ex taxi) 1.9TD ... 236,000. Just about every part except the engine itself was replaced to keep it going. But having a few rides in it, it was hard to call it a car. It sounded like it was held together with string it was that bad. Finally got sold for scrap last year when it's 3rd gearbox packed up.
