In your current (or previous) petrol Fabia -

 

What is the highest miles on the clock achieved?

 

Do you still have the car?

 

Or was this the mileage before selling the car onto someone else, or -

 

When the car came to the end of its life (major failure not economical to repair, accident etc.)

 

Any (many) 150k + petrols out there?

 

:think:

2001 MPI with 147000 on clock myself and wife have put 100000 of those, and its still going strong. And apart from a clutch and normal things like tyres, brakes,oil etc its been a very reliable car.

Our 05 1.2 is just coming up to 118000 I think. 

I bought a cheap secondhand head to refurb, after reading various scary stories about timing chain tensioners and burnt valves/seats, but so far it's been good as gold. I haven't needed to do anything much other than a new EGR valve, and exhaust front pipe.

I viewed one with 133k on it. Ran and drove nicely. I passed because it was very untidy inside. 

A friend of mine has a 1.2 htp 12 valve 172000 and still going strong !! 

I had a 1.2 HTP 64bhp (2003)

 

had 112,000 miles on it when I sold it to a neighbour!

 

Apart from from the timing chain slipping a tooth (at 105,000) ran perfect all the time!

 

to be fair I probably brought the timing chain issue on myself, being 17 and all........

 

Almost miss that little car

My  W reg 1.4 fabia comfort has 153,000 + on the clock.

 It runs nice and quietly usually but the exhaust started blowing today - got to sort it out tomorrow.  

Although it has done loads of miles, it went straight through its MOT last year  :clap:

All these high milers make me think my '04 plate 1.4 16 valver will last a bit then! I bought it last september with 30,000 (warranted) and its now done 32,000! I do intend to keep it. Had my last car for 7 years.

152k here.
