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.

well every saturday check all fluids,tyres etc-dont like tv-100s of channels of rubbish,and if i see something once-its on again a few days later!!!! Oh I also hoover the interior-have my lunch in it and bung the rubbish on floor on passenger side :o for some reason mrs moans about it ??? This weekend is oil an filter change. :y
-
Mines a 1996 with 99000 miles. Nice and low for the year.
-
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.
-
Mine is about to go past 263000, regular oil changes and breathers cleaned every few months. still runs great! :)
-
209,000 miles :y
