Even so, over a million miles must make it the highest mileage of virtually any car in the UK :o

That is some impressive mileag even driving even driving between Wales and Scotland. ;)

Assuming car is 14 years old that would equate to travelling approx 198 miles every single day :P of its 14 year life without days for repair/servicing/holidays etc.

Quite astonishing  :o :o :o

Much as I will defend the 4 pot engines, I find it very hard to believe yours has done over a million miles, a think a photo of an old MOT certificate would be nice to see  :)

Previous owner must have hardly any time to get out of the car then as if you have owned for 5 years and cover around 2-3 thou a year you must have bought a 12 year old car with close to a MILLION miles registered so my previous calculations were quite alot out then ...actually covering nearer 230 miles for every single day of its previous 12 years  :o :o :o

Think a previous MOT would go along way to convincing me this is not a car that has been ..."clocked forward" ;D
