StephenFord Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Today, odometer tripped over 130,000 miles (about 7000 miles/year). Still feels a very tight car, now fed on a diet of E5 BP Ultimate. Hopefully, I'll get another 130,000 out of her if she doesn't just rust away 馃槀 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonovAN12 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I bought my Mk2 1.6 in summer 2021 with 120k miles. It is now at 145k miles and has never once let me down. In that time it has had four new tyres, a set of spark plugs, and an oil/filter change each year. A pollen filter and a few bulbs could also be included. I have also replaced a few minor plastic trim parts from the breakers and fitted a Sony DAB head unit. The only thing that has failed on it is the AC compressor started to leak after the neglected system was re-gassed. That was replaced with a used unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main downside for this car is how high the tax is for something plain and slow.聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
