Sounds like it could have been a Taxi or sales rep car diving up and down the country. As a taxi you can do 1000 to 1500 miles a week.

i did 1k a week on days and the bloke who ran the car on nights did more or less the same, the only time the car stopped was for fuel and maintenance

It's rare too - not many MV6 with a 2.2 engine in this county to my knowledge. Head lamp washers, alu dash ......

2.2 MV6 is known as Omega Sport.  Not uncommon, but 2.6 is more popular

Good chance its still got the original exhaust fitted.....  Never got a chance to cool down and rust!

Our cars at work get a lot of miles in a short time and, barring accident damage, are more often than not sold with a good solid exhaust system at 3 years old+ and stellar miles...

called the sport instead of MV6 purely because its not a V6, and "M-4pot" just doesnt have the same appeal :D

would be the same cosmetic spec tho

I would have though this was a reps / business type car, looks too clean inside to have been a taxi with this mileage. imho
