High mileage?? Nowadays 100k miles is just run in! Both our cars are
well into their second 100k and even my 'bike is getting on that way.
None of them shows any significant engine wear yet.

I will give Vivergo until 31MAR17, then get a driving job, bank loan and then the car on a 17 plate. Early April is now more likely.

Which is why I paid £1200 for a new subframe.

You try trading in a car with 135,000 miles on the clock and let me know
what you get offered.

From the POV of second hand value, 135,000 is "high mileage".

.... and thus quite often a bargain. I bought my 'bike with 35k miles
on it which is high for a 'bike and thus I got it for around half the
normal price for the model (maybe a bit more than half). As I said
it's now approaching 100k and the engine is still fine. I previously
had another Kawasaki that I had from new until 90k on the clock, no
problems at all with it.

Put oil in at the right intervals, do the other basic things, engines
last a *long* time nowadays (except for the occasional one that has a
design fault but they usually die early).

I recently got rid of my '97 BMW E39 528. Just under 100,000 miles. Pretty
good condition. No rust whatsoever. Interior near mint. Paint had a few
minor blemishes as you'd expect with a London car. Full service history
and nothing needed. Fully loaded auto with everything working as it
should.

£500. Appeared on Ebay shortly afterwards at a dealer (of sorts) Initially
£1000 BIN, then £750, then nearest offer. No idea if it sold or for how
much.

18 months ago, Discovery II "Landmark", 04 plate, 140,000 miles, 11
years old, serviced and repaired as required, part-ex at LR dealers
£3,000.

I'd had it 6.7 years and done 106,300 miles and spent £36,421.38. But
it was going to be an even bigger big money pit. The suspension
needed a complete overhaul, the warranty on it's *second* ECU was
about to expire (£750 + VAT a pop), bear in mind TD5 ECUs are
normally very reliable and this car was on it's second. Engine, gear
box, all fine etc Sadly it had to go, B-(

But it's one hell of a mileage for today! I wonder how far he'll go
tomorrow.

Yes, any sensible person would have scrapped it if it required that sort
of expenditure. Others come across as blithering idiots with more money
than sense.

Similar with our old Rover 218SD (suspension bushes on top of a list
of smaller things that signaled the end).

Mind you, bought it off a mate for £100 with 6 months tax on it, a
long MOT and with 150k on the clock. Got £150 scrap for it ~7 years
later with nearly 200k on the clock and after spending very little on
it along the way. ;-)

Plus it was still doing ~50 mpg at the end, always started instantly
and got me 20+ miles home twice with next to no coolant in the system.

And you don't realise how heavy 20 paving slabs are until you load
them into your saloon car! (That car did do some work).

Plus it had a character ... thinking it was 'funny' by unlocking or
locking itself, if you were in it or not or immobilising itself say,
just when you were about to start up to drive off the ferry ...

Whilst I never had any interest in Rovers, after having that one
(well, if you can call a Civic derived, re badged Honda Concerto with
a Pug engine a 'Rover' g) I'd put it second to the 2L Sierra Estate
I had for 23 years AFA good working cars go. ;-)
