Our 2005 we bought two years ago with 31000 on the clock and now has 52000.

 

It has had exhaust replaced due to failure and needed a gearbox rebuild due to a problem with synchro in 5th gear.

 

Otherwise just wear and tear items. Going for its P2 and MOT next month.

 

Lets hope all ok :)

72k, 53 plate GT, still on first clutch, about to buy a new exhaust due to heavy corrosion and also a lot of corrosion around the arb which I plan on brushing down and covering in hammerite this weekend :(

2004, 53k daily driver, replaced exhaust when bought couple years ago as was split and blowing and got Scorpion on there which is so much better. Only other "repair" I needed was wheel hub bearing as that was an advisory when bought and replaced the boot struts as they failed with spoiler I put on. Apart from the usual replacement pads and discs when needed, undersealing and a few mods I wanted it has been really great.

Think mine must be the lowest then at 10395 on an 05 ! :victory:

 

Best you get driving it then!

A result if you've only just bought it, but a total waste if you've own it for a while. Just think of all the fun miles your missing.

 

Edit - I think bevis the garage Queen may just have you pipped.

 

My 54 plate had only done 12k in its first 6 years alive, which was a good thing when I bought it. Now on about 32k.

Think the op was looking for reassurance on high milers, but as mine is still not quite run in at 8K, you're out on both counts. ;)

55 plate and done 73k.

 

For those of you who have changed your clutches, did you do it because:

 

a. It really was on it's way out and needed to be changed?

 

or

 

b. You were just worried/paranoid about it so had it done anyway?

 

And more importantly, is it an easy job to do if you did it yourself?

Mine has 109k, bought early 2013. Out 3k on. Undersealed the car, new exhaust. 2 services. Gear box cold do with some moly slip. But other than that it's very strong. My mechanic was impressed when I turned up in it

A. It started slipping in the higher gears so I had no choice.

 

Didn't even consider doing it myself and let my local garage do it who charged about £280 for the labour. I also upgraded the flywheel while the clutch was out.

 

My car had done 62,000 miles when it went.

115,836 miles still going strong. Bought it with around 67,000 on it I think. Still on the same clutch it had when I bought it. But then I drive smoothly, with silky precision ;)
