Who's got the highest mileage Passat?

My old 1995 TDi only had 160k when it was smashed into when parked. Replaced with a 2002 130PD Se estate with 115K so only a baby mileage. Just wondering who has the highest miles? My 1998 TDI Transporter has 227k and runs like a dream so looking forward to racking up a huge mileage.

My 2001 TDI PD130 has done 121k & still going strong. Needs a cam belt change now tho

Our 96 Passat Tdi estate has done 282k miles and so far so good-see my other post. She's been a damn good car, even though she gets a good hammering. We had an Escort diesel estate before, and by 160k it was falling to bits. The Passat is so much better put together. We'll definitely get another one when this one dies.

282K! That's pretty amazing! My 2000 1.8T has done 172K with no major problems, still runs as smoothly as it did when I bought it. Mind you, I did buy it at 168K..

What do you use you passat for to get to 280K? Impressive.

A mate a few years ago had a 1.3 Golf - B reg. When we first met it had done 100k - I was used to low mileage cars and thought it would blow up - it went on to do 250K before he px'ed it. He only ever serviced it once a year. This got me into VW's.

Blimey - I think we should start another sub-thread to see who's got the least miles for the oldest Passat. Mine's an August '97 (R) 1.8T with just 89k on the clock. I bought it in Feb 2002 with just 47k on it. I only do about 8-9k a year though. Got to say it's been a low hassle car so far. Still in mint condition too.
