199000 mile Turbo 2000 on eBay
Still looks good for the mileage, 12 months MOT but no service history.

This car has been averaging 18000 miles a year!!
Think of the fuel this has gone through.

ive not read the advert but i guess it goes to show what you can expect if you dont do silly mods and take care with proper maintenance and mechanical sympathy.

I've got a uk terzo with a 197,000 still on original engine and gearbox. Mapped by Paul Balmire at 132,000. Running 326bhp and 310 torque for over 65,000 miles. Just regular servicing and a bit of mechanical sympathy

That's very impressive for the power it is running! I'd be quite happy if mine carries on running for another 65k at 330bhp

The key is mechanical sympathy, it counts for so much in longevity.
