Who Has Done The Highest Millage?

JohnJonjo · 22nd August 2012, 18:44

Hi all,

I have a 2.2 diesel on 06 plate and it has now done 147,000 miles
Can anyone beat that millage??

Wow, does it still run as normal? And I'm sure I've seen a bit more.

judderman · 22nd August 2012, 18:57

175,000miles on a 2.2 sport.

Still runs like a beauty and drives like a 50k car, I'm 100% sure its good for the same again.

175,000 miles?! Were these all motorway miles I take it?

judderman · 22nd August 2012, 20:00

Too right they are!
40miles each way to HQ office in Warrington, with regular trips to London, Whitheaven, Teesside and Aberdeen thrown in, spends the majority of its time sat at 73mph cruising.

Probably why it still drives like a car less than a 1/3 of its mileage

Hopefully this thread will keep running. There's a similar one on the VW/Audi forum.

Lessons I drew was that high annual mileages were no bad thing.

I got car at 60,000 miles 4 years ago, so 60,000 miles on has been mainly city driving!
Still feels same as it did when I bought the car.

JohnJonjo · 23rd August 2012, 01:09

Grrrrrr, you beat me!

Runs just fine, same as the day I bought it with 60k on the clock.

Honda engines - properly maintained (especially regarding oil changes / quality / filters, are virtually immortal

And every 200k or so, change the gearbox oil and timing chain

s80key · 8th March 2013, 18:00

2007 2.2 cdti ex 143000 mostly motorway still smooth engine
Always use fully synth 0w30 oil
Hopefully should be ok for another 50k
Anybody got ideas on when the timing chain should be changed and the cost of it?mine seems ok but you never know

Louisa · 8th March 2013, 18:43

just gone over 13k i'll be catching you up shortly..haha

4shm3x · 8th March 2013, 19:29

On 112k only one clutch change. Car drives so smooth still.

That is a good question- Honda don't mention timing chain changes in the service intervals.

I no when I had my old Nissan. That had a cam chain and they said change at 100k.
