My 2 are barely run in  compared to those mileages, the 2.6 (2001) has done 67,000 & the 2.2 (2003) has done 78,000 so hopefully lots of life in them !

235,000 is high indeed,but there have been others with as many and even more miles on them.It may well keep going for several more years IF it is regularily serviced. Oil and filter, breathers cleaned - every 4,000 miles. certainly no more than 5,000. :y
Mine has 114,000 on the clock and my estate project has a mere 93,000.

That is a high mileage for any vehicle, but if it has been looked after (eg, serviced on time, etc) there is no reason it shouldn't carry on working. A friend of ours racked up 300,000 miles in his Zetec Mondeo and it ran just as well (sometimes better) than examples with one third that mileage.

Similarly we had a diesel Xantia many years ago that we pretty much gave away which had managed 353,000 miles, and that eventually died at 380,000 although the person we gave it to didn't open the bonnet from one week to the next so it may very well have gone on longer if they had bothered with it.

Mine. Had 40k when I bought it September 2010 and its now just rolled over 52k. Always changed the oil every 3 to 4 months and kept breathers clean. Covering the basics regardless of miles should see them last.
