Bigdaddycain Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Beat ya! 194,678 miles on a 2005 Focus Diesel estate! (well, it's a bigger number) :D :D :D Oh! You mean beat you on the LOWEST mileage? Nope, you got me there mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjCarr Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 lol yes the LOWEST for my year 2001 "Y" reg :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaddycain Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That really is low!... How've you managed it? I drive around 2500 miles a week in my job, your car doing a "month's worth" of mileage in 11 years is astounding to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjCarr Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 i bought it last year and it had 9643 miles and i work from home so don't drive every day :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSussex Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Easy to check mileage, look at the old MOT certs. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjCarr Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 it's got Full cream leather interior and there's not 1 crack in the leather and you and eat your dinner off the engine, The lady before me used it to go to and from the shops.....i know it's seams unreal and i only payed £3100 for it and it's got full air con full electric windows & heated front seats :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter666 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yes but a car could have done. huge miles in the first three years then get clocked before there is an mot certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSussex Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yes but a car could have done. huge miles in the first three years then get clocked before there is an mot certificate Unlikely as it's a one owner, why would you clock it and then keep it for another 7 years and put such a small extra mileage on it, it sounds genuine, although I don't like all those short journeys on it.

bottletree Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Wonder if its been standing a long time causing the tyres to go flat in one area? This is bizarre. Can't get my head round that mileage. What a waste just using it for short journeys. Was the shops next door to her house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 sounds way too low for a y reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaddycain Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Good on you Mark... It seems as though you have found a little gem of a motor! They are rare, but they do still exist here or there. You certainly won't be doing any harm giving her a decent run out every once in a while either... ir sounds like she needs running in! Let's have a look at her then mate!

Preee Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 My dad has had his new C-Max about three months now and only just over 250 miles , what a waste , and he won't even let me drive it haha Nice find on the Focus , there are probably a few cars around with very little milage on them, just gotta find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjCarr Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 i will add some photo's soon when the weather clears up but i will take some pictures of the interior AND the mileage :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
