Hi guys,

I know its a difficult question because of all the variables but what sort of mileages are 1.3 engines good for? Before mayor surgery or transplant!

I have seen some going strong at 75k but wondered what the norm was and who had the higest mileage.

:)

I would think 75K is fairly conservative, mine's done 86k without anything major as far as I know, touching wood as I type!! Regular servicing and maintenance with good quality bits does wonders. you see them for sale with well over 100K. I guess there's going to be a competition now for the highest mileage!!
cheers,
john.
