Even so, over a million miles must make it the highest mileage of virtually any car in the UK :o

Somebody has a decimal point on the wrong place I reckon.  ::)

That is some impressive mileag even driving even driving between Wales and Scotland. ;)

Assuming car is 14 years old that would equate to travelling approx 198 miles every single day :P of its 14 year life without days for repair/servicing/holidays etc.

Quite astonishing  :o :o :o

How old is the car & how long has it been in your ownership?

How about a photo of an old MOT? Say from 2005?  :)

It must have had what, 800k+ on it by then?

Much as I will defend the 4 pot engines, I find it very hard to believe yours has done over a million miles, a think a photo of an old MOT certificate would be nice to see  :)

Bore wear on number 1 will kill most 2.0/2.2 long before even a third of that.  Thats not to say its not on its 4th or 5th donk though...

Previous owner must have hardly any time to get out of the car then as if you have owned for 5 years and cover around 2-3 thou a year you must have bought a 12 year old car with close to a MILLION miles registered so my previous calculations were quite alot out then ...actually covering nearer 230 miles for every single day of its previous 12 years  :o :o :o

Think a previous MOT would go along way to convincing me this is not a car that has been ..."clocked forward" ;D

I reckon its Flux Capacitor is reading too high! ;D
If it ain't broke keep fixing it 'til it is!
