Thread: Highest Mileage Defender

and yes with any car you give it good oil,do the changes when needed or even abit earlier and it will pay off in the long run. my dad has a 99 vectra as a drive to work car just over 240k on an auto box still good ran abit rough after sitting for a few months over winter though, and the lining is giving me static on the head but still you cant complain to much

oops...got the numbers wrong....368,000kms....sorry!

My 1992 110 200 tdi had done 169,000 when I sold it. It is now sitting in a shed not far from here. The person who bought it off me had done 645,000 in it before the odometer stuffed up. He has a hot house business and was delivering hot houses across 3 states in a large tandem. It had a few clutches. gear box and general repairs though. It now just sits in his shed. It was one of the first that came out.

Interesting reading - might show SWMBO this thread. She is looking for a Puma for slightly better comfort. I wouldn't mind a project car.

I've seen a '99 Defender with 300,000km for $14,000

Had new head, injectors, pump, turbo and clutch replaced 20.000kms ago

Going by this thread, it might only be considered middle aged

You're nearly all young pups! I thought diesel motors were supposed to do high k's......I have a Mitsubishi Triton, 4 cyl Petrol that's done 520,000 on it's original motor

My 300 karked it at about 300.000 from lack of Coolant changes and has corroded throu in to number two pot. But internally other wise was great
