97,500ish on a MY96 Turbo, currently using my motorcycle as much as possible to keep the miles off the car as I want it to last another 4years...
It is the best all round car I have owned and intend running it in to the ground!...
Currently doing around 40,000miles a year.. 20,000miles in the car and 20,000miles on the bike...
Not a single problem with the car, touch wood... still original clutch.. front disks are getting a little waffer thin...
Rear wiper motor is the only failure so far that I can think of..
