Managed just over 11000 between MOT's last year. Now I've retired I tour more with the Caravan, all year, weather permitting. Like has been said it's easy in a comfy car

Hannah Judes Dad · « **Reply #4 on:** 15 February 2011, 12:35:55 »

I have done just under 2000 since my MOT last year,it'll probably get to about 2500 by the time the MOT is due in April.

DaveA, just wondered if we met up last year at a caravan site near March, this guy had a 2.2cd, a very keen fisherman.

Because of where I work, I will have done nearly 30,000 miles this year. It's wearing the poor car out far too fast

I'm thinking about getting something cheap for the commute, and keep the Omega for the weekends

If you lived in the north east why would you ever move to anywhere else?

You've seen woody's current list of cars.. to buy somewhere down here with space for that lot you'd need the best part of £15,000,000!

30,000 miles in Two and a bit months

tonyyeb · « **Reply #16 on:** 18 February 2011, 18:38:25 »

Good topic, this. I'm interested in how many miles forum members do in their migs in a year, especially the V6 varieties.

I'll probably do approx 12,000 in my 3.0 this year......

henryd · « **Reply #17 on:** 18 February 2011, 19:03:20 »

Mine will probably do 5-6000 this year as it's not my daily driver

albitz · « **Reply #18 on:** 18 February 2011, 19:10:17 »

Im reckoning on about 8000 this year. It has dropped a bit since my twice monthly return trips to Londinium have ceased since last month.

Ploppy · « **Reply #19 on:** 18 February 2011, 19:10:39 »

Umm...

just done 22,000 miles from last MOT March 2010,,,

..insured for up to 40k - average 35k to and from work + business mileage. Pretty much every third month it's being serviced of some sort. Have to budget at least 1 set of tyres every year + cam belt every year.
Plus the Volvo insured for 20k - average 12-15k. So when the Omega's not in for something the Volvo is...service/tyres/tax/mot/breakdown cover.....it's relentless.....

Vamps · « **Reply #22 on:** 18 February 2011, 23:50:39 »

I do 12 to 15K a year, commuting and used for work for meetings, Home/School/Court visits etc all local, to work, stuff.....should get a cheap economical run about really.....

Paid £350 for Master Vamps car, a little 1.0L Saxo, horrible to drive, he loves it, but other than a new battery has cost nothing, other than an oil change and an MOT in 18 months....

Its been like that all year so far, and i havent even touched the omega, its been goid as gold, although it had cam cover seals in the snow thinking about it, but i knew that when i bought it, along with wishbones.

Probably around 15k a year.

Sorry I meant over the last 12 months. If I was doing 500 miles a day both the car and I would be ready for the scrapyard !

chalcroft · « **Reply #25 on:** 19 February 2011, 18:40:34 »

I have done 12k between mot's in the last year. 3300miles were done in 3 weeks when i took it on a european tour with the family. Add to that the 10k i have done in my vectra and that equals a lot of petrol!!

2woody · « **Reply #26 on:** 19 February 2011, 19:58:51 »

I'm tentatively forecasting 50,000 this year - it's been a while since I've done that much in a year, although not my greatest by some way.

Lazydocker · « **Reply #27 on:** 19 February 2011, 20:03:21 »

Went round 170k today... Normally do between 25 and 30k, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less

2boxerdogs · « **Reply #28 on:** 21 February 2011, 21:07:19 »
