I don't know why it makes a difference, but it does. My went past 80,000 and I had to take a picture as well.  :(

497 is purely incidental. I try not to look at how much fuel i use or what it costs.
     Still the Mig's reached a milestone. Some of the motors i cut my teeth on were winkered @ 100,000 if not before & the Mig's still silky smooth. Was going to upgrade but @5,000 mls a year i'll run this one for 2 or 3 years. Cambelt has 3yrs. & 35,000 left, wish i'd done the water pump at the time but overall £950 with a years MOT & 6 months tax, i reckon it'll pay to run it. Cost me nothing other than maintenance (so far) Front discs & pads soon! :y

i've done that since Nov  :-?

was looking at the MOT certificate for mine, last April 121,000, now 151,000.

Will be close to 160,000 when it goes for its next MOT

I remember when mine had done 100,000, kept thinking that there was a mistake cos it is so smooth and rattle free.

Despite driving a few this is the only one i've ever owned. In previous posts i've mentioned MV6's & still want one but makes financial sense to hang on to this one a bit longer & although it's only a 2.5 i'm kind of attached now. I still enjoy every trip, even to work! Still look over my shoulder at her before i go indoors.
     Sentimental i know but she's a keeper. :)
