Ive seen them on fleabay with around 300,000 miles on the clock.ex taxis presumably.
Regular oil and filter changes and sensible maintenance and the engines will run forever imo.

20K above average for the year, but just about run in if it has been serviced on time.

well my old 94 2.5td had done 230k miles, probably been scrapped now though as i traded it in for my current one which has 160k miles.

My old one still drove fine when i got rid and it was definatly not looked after well by previous owners and i didnt really look after it much either as it as just a stop gap car really. Really i recon it could have been fixed up a bit for not alot and used for a good few more years but i wanted that 3.2 v6 while i can still afford to run it lol.

My last one covered 285,00 when i sold it.Only ever cost me the normal servicing plus wear and tire.The chap who bought it still has it and goes back and forth to La Rochelle(western France) every weekend so must be on at lease 500,00 and he tells me except for a couple of cambelts and bulbs nothing goes wrong.
Ps i also have a 1.8 petrol Pug 406 that's still working as a cab that's on 290,00 :y

That was my 1994 2.5 V6. I took it for its MOT a few weeks ago and it turned out that it was going to need significant welding to the sills. It also needed a new battery, two new tyres and I would have changed the cambelt if I had kept it. I traded it in for a 2003 2.6 Elite 3 weeks ago.

I was told yesterday that it was last seen hanging from the crane at a scrap yard  :( sad really because I had kept on top of the mechanical maintenance over the 6 years I had owned it and still had every confidence in it. Unfortunately it was suffering from the scabby doors, rusty wheel arches and stone chips that old Omegas succumb to  :'(

105.000 on my 96, and no rust on door tops, tiny bit beginning to appear on the bottom of drivers side rear door which I hope to fix soon.. No rust at all on wheel arches.  :)

Just over 92k on my current Miggy, and had 106k on my previous one before it went to the great scrapyard in the sky.
