N1 and N3 have 300,000 miles between them, and that is with N1 off the road for four years, but of course they both have had two engines each.

As Robin says, most of those were pretty hard miles, apart from the Motorway miles getting there.

Lynda's Fabia VRS has 143k on the clock and its a 06 plate, complete with 14 stamps from Skoda plus the oil has been changed every 5k since we have owned it.....great little car :thumbsup

My last VW Transporter which i had from new had just over 150k and was just turning 3 when we sold it....never let me down once and it never had a easy life :damnfunny

Which Rover had a Honda engine?

I thought the Rovers all had K series (1.4, 1.6) and the Honda's had a Honda engine (1.5)
A K series managing 230K!!!
