Most KM's on Puma

[Jacko44]

Whats the most km's heard of so far on a puma?

Anywhere in the world?

[Cobber]

I've seen a few on carsales with nearly 200000 on them but there's bound to be higher out there ...

Not a PUMA but my sisters hubby has got 345,000k's on his (hard working) 2010 Transit flat top, with only a busted harmonic balancer needing replacement.

There would be oodles of Transits with big K's around the world,there would be plenty getting the guts ripped out of them by white van man also. Pat

Similar thread here from South Africa,

Puma Mileage - 4x4 Community Forum (http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showthread.php?p=2169421)

Post number 5 reports of someone doing 400,000 miles on his.
I have previously read about this mileage on an UK forum as well but having a quick search couldn't find it.

Regards,
Mike.

I guess with an 07 puma and only 68000 km's I may not be winning.

Your ahead of me....

11/2008 with 65,000

[PAT303]

2011 with 84,000k's. Pat

[Jacko44]

Im at 77,000

[The Cone of Silence]

2008 with 120,000

We're all a bit on the low side eh!

I'd be happy to see people out there with some big scores though, would make me even more confident in the engine.

Last trip was 6200kms and Monty didn't skip a beat.

Interesting to do a search on carsales for Transits, and reverse sort by KM's...

Some up around 500,000 k's.

248,000km on my 2007 Puma

Once I got out of warranty, it's been pretty good...normal wear and tear stuff (alternator, clutch spring, idler pulley, couple of oil seals, etc)...no major stuff. Touch wood!

[The Cone of Silence]

That is SO good to hear.

I guess the thing with owner forums is that you only ever hear about the problems; nobody ever needs information when their car is running perfectly.

It's delightful to hear of trouble-free motoring over that sort of mileage.

2010 with 108K on it and fairly trouble free although when I told the stealer about the bag pipe type noise coming from somewhere, they put in a new transfer box.
No complaints about it's reliability and none about the stealer (Barbagallo) who fixed things without complaint even though I bought it second hand at 60K and never had it serviced by them.

That's an interesting observation isn't it.

I've also found that if you go to a new dealer with warranty issues, they go ALL OUT to help you. In my experience they will not only fix the issues you raise but identify other issues that need to be fixed under warranty. I've experienced this new dealer glow twice now.

But it all seems to go into a heap when they know they have you as a repeat customer. That's when they can't be stuffed fixing issues or are lazy and break things.

I picked mine up Nov 2011, she's now got a tad over 82k on her.

Can't say I've experienced your good fortune Bilbo with the warranty issues, but she's in again now, and this particular mob seem to care a bit, so we'll see what happens.

My 09 110 has almost 110k on it now - no commuting, only trips, so probably not the gentlest ks.

Seems to be running fine - starting to wonder about when to do a preventative clutch change and put new bearings in the belt driven ancilliaries though - seems like these things might be easier to do at home rather than half way along the Canning...

[Lagerfan]

Just a baby here with 26k in a little over 12 months, all trouble free.

Can't say I've found that but I'll let you know, I'm going to try ULR in Melbourne for our next service after reading some good reviews here and the guys at Ritters also recommended them for any warranty work.

For the record Ritters were excellent IMO on our first service (at 14k) but thought I'd try a dealer to score any ECU updates/bulletins etc. and cover myself for any shenanigans down the line with warranty, I might alternate between the two while still in warranty.

Barbagallo do warranty work no questions asked. Pat

[85 county]

355000 on the transit.

Seem to go though starter motors, 1 a year, EGR valves 1 a year

fuel filter housing cracks 1 a year so about 3K a year maintaince plus servicing

2013 jan 55k

[Orkney 90]

My 90 has just celebrated its first birthday. And still under 10k on it even though its my daily driver... will be celebrating with the first oil change sometime next week, depending on my work shifts.
