Highest mileage CDT

Jules · 16th April 2007, 21:30

Hi all
Just wondering who has the highest milage ZT or 75 Petrol or diesel?

Put your variant here......just for interest really!
Don't think the V8's are going to win here.

Lets see, if you owned a V8 that had done 100,000 miles (maybe in 10 years time!!)

That's 100,000 X 95p a litre X 4.54 = £ 21,565 ...scary

I'll start it off

Rover 75 CDT 52 plate manual 77,000 miles (probably nothing compared to yours)

I know of at least one CDT with 200,000 plus on it

Lets expand this thread a bit, who has the highest mileage on the original autobox?
I want to dispel any idea that they croak around 100,000

Yes I heard the JATCO auto box is only good for 90k
Anyone know different, again i suppose it's how they are driven?

Rover 751.8turbo, 54K

What other manufacturers use JATCO?

There is a 75 taxi local to me with around 179.000 miles & that was before Christmas & I heard of another one recently with a similar figure.

There was a 75 Conn SE CDT on ebay last week with 274k on it. Apparently still driving very well. Certainly gives us diesel owners some peace of mind. Mine is a 2002 2.0 CDT manual on 79k.

Hmmm... not quite got the hang of "the highest" milleage have you, GG

Never mind... One day your car will be shiny and new-looking amoungst all our fading old cars...

Jules · 16th April 2007, 23:25

Any advances on 274K then?

I was in Madera 3 years ago and the taxi I was in (Yellow Merc) had 650,000 km's on the clock! but thats off the subject which is why no one will read the small print anyhow
