My 2002 3.2MV6 has done 178,000 and still purrs like new!

My last V6 estate (2.5) was still going strong when I sold it at 274,000 miles and my current 2.6 has just clocked the 250,000 - not bad for a 2001 car.  Mind they always run mostly on motorways and are LPG converts!

My previous CDX had done 220,000 when oil cooler went and I decided to let it go to Omega Heaven,but therest of the car wss spotless.My current 1998 Elite has just hit 135,000 and would classify it as a youngster..when you look at it its very difficult to accept it is 11 years old,so I will keep it for another 100k...god willing.

Mine is still youthful at just under 157k

Hi all, im new to this!! i have an ex police 3.2 mv6 thats done 193,000 and is still going strong, my last omega was a pre face lift 2.5 and that had done 185,000 when it died

Ah now i was once a taxi driver for around 15 years and drove many a high mileage car.
I think the car with the most  was a 1986 1600 diesel Orion which had covered 586,000.
Infact there were two that were one number after each other on the reg plate bought the same day and beleive it or not they both died within 4 days of each other the other had covered 566,000 and Both cars had NEVER had any major work done to the engines everything else yes but the engines were spot on

I had a Senator that when I used it in p/x for an Omega was at 248k.

Then when acquiring my current Omega I had a 19 year old 1.6 Toyota Carina II which I kept running for 6 years, and that I traded in at 240k.

So I believe if any engine (except those with known design flaws) is well serviced, maintained using best parts available along with the correct oil, and driven intelligently then it will last as long as you want it to last.  The body work I see as so often the reason for premature scrapage
