UK VAG - High Mileage Club - No longer maintained

**vee six** · 25-05-2009,08:18 AM

Hi all,

Newbie to this forum

My '96 A4 Avant 2.6 has covered 307000 miles. Purrs like a kitten and is still running its factory-fitted clutch and exhaust.
Happy? You bet I am!

I look after a fair few taxis in Stoke....

Highest one i've seen was a 51 reg 130bhp passat with over 330,000 on it when he sold it!

Started costing him lots after the 280,000 mark, i looked after it from 59,000.

Sometimes wonder about a "Low Mileage Club."

Reason I say this - only joking honest - is I remember a 1988 Polo saloon I bought for my youngest daughter in 1999 just before she started UNi. She failed her test twice before starting her course and lost interest in driving until she left in 2002. I ran the car myself for a couple of years reducing the mileage on my main car.

At 11 years old it had 32,000 completely documented miles on the clock. Every receipt, every MOT was presented with the car. The previous owner had bought it off his mother when it was 6 years old. At that time it had only 7,000 on the clock.

My wife's Tigra had 39k on the clock when she bought it, 97 plate, this was back in 2002.
It cuirrently has 57k on it, which isn't bad for a 12 year old car. I use it once a week and can probably account for at least 10k of those miles.

Ah... I had a Hillman Imp in 1999 with 17K on the clock, Had all the receipts etc and in 1990 it had 6K on the clock!!!. The year the car was first registered was 1976.

I gleefully did 10K in a year in it

Great fun car
