2½ K per year - amazing.
Cambelt interval is, i think, 60K or 5 years

My sister's 1970 Morris 1300 has 36,000 miles on it, and she's done half of those in the last 4 years! Although it was legal when she bought it(I drove it home), it needed a fair amount of recomissioning. It needed new master cylinders, a new clutch slave, four new tyres, a new speedo cable and a new clutch as the old one was sticky - something I'd not seen before. None of that is expensive though, and it's a good little car.
