"There are currently 5,897 motors with more than 400,000 miles showing, 2,676 vehicles beyond 500,000 miles and even those that have covered 750,000 miles in their time, odometer data provided by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency shows. These astronomical mileage cars include 35 Vauxhall Astras, 33 Rover 75s, 25 Ford Fiestas and the same amount of Focus hatchbacks. There are 16 Land Rover Defender still going, too - though it is a van model that has the most 750,000-plus examples still being driven in Britain today. Another surprise is the number of Audi TTs - 16 - with over three-quarters-of-a-million mile examples still running. Yet it is a commercial vehicle at the top of the list, with businesses still using 104 LDV Maxus vans that have surpassed 750,000 miles."

Those LDV Maxus are terribly unreliable.

Save your new electric cars, getting that mileage out of a vehicle is true "green" motoring in my opinion, making the most of the materials and energy used to create it.

 

One does wonder how much "triggers broom" is going on and whats been replaced to get that distance!?
