Fair play, Volvo is the only car maker where high mileage means bragging rights

**stribo** · Tuesday 19th March 2013, 06:30

Tony likes to think he's winning, as he's got the lowest mileage, but I'd say you were winning with 305,000 miles.

I ll take the P2 off the Missus this week-end and clean it to upload few pictures for you guys including the dash for mileage proof,by the way I drop the oil every 5k and no consumption of oil or water at all,this is the best car ever lol

Hahahaha it's gonna be about 4 years till I catch the one above me, provided he doesn't add any miles to his in that time.

**jotter22** · Friday 22nd March 2013, 09:59

Tony.

**Biff** · Wednesday 27th March 2013, 20:48

I have service history to say mine had done 212000 in 2005. How many miles it did between then & its new engine in 2008 I don't know but its done 80k since then. I'm thinking around the 300k but maybe more. Lol

**Slrmoco** · Thursday 11th April 2013, 22:38

Very good Biff but thinking you might have and so and so it's not good enough to beat me on the highest,we want whats on the clock at present lol

**M-R-P** · Thursday 11th April 2013, 22:52

I think anybody claiming over 200k should have to show some evidence

Overhall?
Mine's not had an overhall.... well, the engine and gearbox hasn't lol. (if clutch, slave, DMF, injectors, coil packs, plugs and PCV don't count as an overhall)
