I took an  F, 1989, reg Toyota Corina II from 160K up to 250k, and still goig strong.

On my company cars, especially the Carlton CD's,  I took one from 0 new mileage to 118k in 18 months, and another from 0 to 112k in two years.

Overall I have travelled 1 million miles, but the vast majority of that on business and at high average speeds so all my cars were in virtually the same condition when they went back as when they were new 8-) 8-) 8-)
Reckon I'm only on about 400k driving miles....   ....though in my younger days, the driven wheels did substantially more miles than the non driven wheels ::)
Actually, up that a bit, I forgot about 3 Omegas and 3 lease cars  :-[

Wheel arches and other bits beginning to hole tho'  :'( :(

I took my first P reg 1996 Omega 3.0 from 0 miles to 132,000 miles in 2 years on it was still as strong as new, that was a great car!

Mine was the one on the right:

Highest mileage vehicle I've driven is an old Ford Cargo with some 350,000Kms on the clock, on at least the second (possibly third) time around! ::) ::)

As for driven Miles... I used to do 1000 miles/week private (and commuting) mileage for 3 years, plus another 2500 miles/week minimum in company vehicles.... I reckon I'm well past the 1 million mile mark as that was just one driving job ::) ::)
