A Volvo XC90 that has just done 300K miles. Had it from new in 2004 and paid about £38k for it. It's probably worth about 38p now, or £90 with a full tank.
If you're interested here's my story on the Volvo Forum:
https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=297383

As it says, it has to be universally the best car I've ever owned. Comfort, capacity, consumption, capability (off road), ... I've run out of things beginning with 'c' now. Prior to this one I'd had a company V70 and V70 Cross Country and between the 3 of them I have done 1/2 a million miles. All them sublimely comfortable and capable.
BUT the QP, well it's just sublime on a completely different level :cool:

Cheers
Ian.

I had an xc90 up to about 140k miles when it started to cost money. I’m sure it’s still on the road and although it had the turning circle of a cruise ship, I loved it. It led me to a high spec v40 r design and then an xc60 r design. Love a Volvo!!

Recently saw a 1 owner xc70 for sale on 285k miles for a grand. I was tempted and probably should have bought it for my dogs.

Smart dogs. Have they got a full license or just automatic? Sorry!

I had a V50 company car and it was so comfortable even for 40k miles a year. I was disappointed when looking for my latest car that the small Volvo estate now (V60) didn't pass the space test to lay my guitar case flat in the boot. It's so wrong that even a small Volvo estate isn't cavernous.

A 2007 BMW 320d bought nearly 5 years ago on 91k now on 262k and running sweet.

I’ve ran high milers for 10 years now and it really has educated me that this mind thing about 100k being breaking point of a car is twaddle.
We all know Spanish taxis do half a million as standard lol, and all these expensive lorries ain’t getting scrapped at 100k !

I’d happily run my GT to 150k no danger.

As from the picture, a DS3. To some a ‘girls’ car, but it’s small relatively nippy for an automatic, and got all the necessary gadgets such as climate control cruise control say nav etc. I’ve had it from new since March last year.

Mini Cooper S (family car and the one I use the most), Fiat Panda 100HP (wife's car, and great fun puddle jumper), Lotus Elise S1, green and loud spec.

My most used commuter however is my Focus Aventura 2 e-bike, which has about 290 miles on the clock so far ;)

My car is the 4200... I used to have a company car but as I changed to a London role with train tickets paid for on expenses I got rid of the wagon to save on the BIK tax repacussions.

The other car belongs to my wife, 2010 Mercedes Benz CLS 350 CDI Grand Edition... It is the final model year with the Brabus ecotune fitted to the ECU so 272bhp 500+ nm torque it is pretty rapid down motorway slip roads... Not far off the pace of the 4200! Super comfortable quiet relaxing cruiser eats up the motorway miles but I find it to be a bit of a barge on country roads

The CLS is somehow it is exempt from ULEZ which is handy for those days that I have do drive into london

A 2013 Touareg for the wife. It’s now 6 years old and with 60k miles I thought it was time to think of a replacement, but reading the above comments about 200k miles cars, I might keep this one a few more decades :)
