130 000 in 17 years and not a sign of death from the trusty old 19J. Although if yours is a TD then why ain't you dead with shrapnel when the engine blows?

Well i spent around a grand rebuilding the blooming thing then about 50,000 miles later i got sick of using almost as much oil as diesel the breather was filling the chassis (got sick of it changing the air filter into an oil filter :x ) so i bit the bullet and went to 300tdi and it's been brilliant since :D  :D doesn't use oil water just diesel  :D

72,000 miles displayed on the odometer of the 2A.  Possibly been around the clock once already but there's no easy way to tell.  Transmission wear doesn't show it has, neither does the wear on the gear stick or steering wheel.

The engine in my G had done about 480000 miles and then comitted suicide.
My Citroen Xantia (sorry :roll: ) has sofar done over 300000 miles with the original clutch still in it! and NO breakdowns yet...
In fact i commented to someone today how well she ran, BIG mistake! she promptly went in limp home mode limiting the revs to 2300 :twisted:
Luckily she soon recovered and seems ok again

We once bought a Volvo 740 estate that already had 235,000miles (& added another 30,000)

My 90V8-CSW had 32,000miles (verified) when I bought it at 13years old

The 110 is a 1999 registration, & has just passed 54,000miles

The 'spare-car' (Fabia) is a '03' & has just gone over 15,000
