My Mini is currently on just under 1000 miles, but that's after it's been round the clock - it had done about 35,000 when I bought it in 2002.

It's on it's fourth engine.

 

My Hornet has done about 30,000 miles, I've driven it less than 100 yards, then took it apart to start a long restoration process.

 

My Subaru is currently leading at 146,000 miles I've done 2/3 of them in the last 4 years.

 

Total it all up with the two bikes and I'd be quite a long way away by now.

 

P.S. I done over 10,000 miles on my old Raleigh Mountainbike in the years I had that, (at least 6 miles a day, 6 days a week, for five years - mostly doing paper rounds.

Fast approaching 80k.  Mini's been to and back from Birmingham, Wales, Norfolk and now resides in London.    

My Mk.2 Mondeo is around that mark, too.

Below is the highest recorded mileage for a New MINI that I have heard of, in a 33 page thread (with photos of speedo) that has been going on MINI2.com forum for some years now, recording mainly routine wear and tear replacement parts to be expected, such as tyres, brake pads, rotors/discs, alternator, steering pump, fuel pump and clutch with oil changes every 17-18,000 miles:

'HWS' is an 85 year old 2002 R50 MINI Cooper owner from Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the USA, and his latest report was at 555,555 miles on May 17th, 2014........

 

First I Drove 1/2 Million Miles, then 55,555.5 more:

"Yes, I'm still here, still driving my original 2002 MINI Cooper - and still enjoying every mile!
Here's how the odometer looked a few days ago. (All 6's will take a couple more years!)
The MINI is 11.8 years old now, so that turns out to be about 47,000 miles per year; -
I used to average more than that but, since I was married a couple years ago,
I have two people's schedules to consider before taking off on a 3, 4, or 500 mile joy ride.
Yep, - still the original muffler, shocks, struts, starter, transmission, and most other things.
The automatic temperature control acted funny on several of last winter's
coldest days - but the heated seats kept me from freezing.
Everything else still works perfectly including that little 'window dance' when I open a door."

I've done in the 7000s miles in mini within 6/7ish months. Can't remember what it's currently on. Think it's 64k

My civic I bought with 78,000 odd roughly year and half back, it's clocked 114k now lol. Soon shoots up

I've hit about 68k on the 25 but engine has been rebuilt so really that's only 3k

My Mpi clocked 120,000 miles  on this year's London to Brighton. Still on the original engine, gearbox & clutch.

 

Just don't lean on the scuttle panel.....
