I am up to 88K in mine where it had 35K on the clock over 15 years back when I first bought it?

About 10k in three seasons, bought at 126k, without checking think it's nearly on 136k

Hmmm, 550 miles since I've had it which is around 5 months, I've spent more time fiddling with it than driving it but that will now change :)

About 43k miles total over 3 cars. ~15k in my black X reg over 2 years, ~500 miles in a very rusty '04 red edition in a week, and 27.5k over last 3 years in my silver' 06.

We have 2 MR2 and put about 3,500 - 4000 miles on a 2002 each year, and about 2,000 per year on a 2003. The 2003 is at 135,000 total so we drive it less.  We have owned the 2002 for over 12 years and the 2003 for more than 5.

Without bothering to go & look at the odometer I think it's about 62k from new in June 2004.  Now averaging around than 1k a year as kept as a show car.  ;)

8k miles since May 2019!

I've slowed down a fair bit recently, both because it's winter and I realised I was putting too many unnecessary un-fun miles on it when I should have been using my 3yr old golf  :))

I think I did about 10000 in my first one (owned for a year)... current one coming up for 10000 miles too over a couple of years. Fun cars!

Probably 28,000 roof down on m6.
