I have a Nissan Pathfinder that isn’t as old as yours, but I’m nearing 300,000 miles. Every little thing that breaks I have a coworker who asks me when I’m going to buy a NEW car. I hope it keeps going another 200,000 miles.

@linda What can I say except WOW? That mileage is impressive; I reckon the Thriftymobile has a way to go, to catch up…

hi, my car is not as old as yours, (only 9 yrs in fact), but has done 203000k and rising!! It’s a Daewoo Nubira. They have gone out of business now but they did give 5 years free servicing AND parts. I live in rural Australia, hence the high mileage. I reckon my car will last forever and be passed on as a freebie. It’s probably only worth about $2000 and costs me virtually nothing in insurance (def don’t need fully comp), and not that much on rego. Oil change only at services, just had the front brakes done for the 1st time, 2nd timing change and apart from new tyres that’s it. Might need to get the aircon regassed next summer but that’s it!!
It would pass an MOT!
