And here was me saying, a couple of weeks ago, that my astra was ready for the knackers at 99K

Varche:
Our Golf estate just hit 100k last week. We do about 15k a year and will stick with it for quite a while. I think the key thing is servicing and maintenance. Striking a balance between only doing something when it “ fails” and having everything changed to line the garages pocket. Ours has DSG autobox. The recommended oil and filter change is 40k miles, I am deliberately doing it at 32k. Might be wasting money or avoiding trouble later.

STEMO:
I was surprised at how many older cars there were on the roads. Did you notice the 30odd astras at over 750,000 miles?  :o

Varche:
Yes! You would need a comfortable well equipped car.
