I owned a car that has surpased the reliability expectations. 2006 Ford Focus 1.6 Z6 engine. Bought at 221 000 kms, drove it up to 460 000kms trouble free until I lost it in the car accident. As a result I replaced it with facelift 2010 1.8 Ford Focus with 198 000 kms, I do a lot of travelling, so far sitting 229 000kms. I must admit the 2006 focus is solid reliable and never broke anything and I mean nothing, extremely reliable.
I owned a 2005 Ford Focus 1.6 Z6 engine at 230 000 kms. Drove it up to 300 000kms. Solid engine. Only recurring issue was the petrol pump, but mainly due to bad mechanical work done.
Had a Hyundai Getz 1.6...only took that baby for service nothing else. Sitting at 430k km, bought it at 79k km. But now I'm looking at the BMW E90 or F30 320D, not sure how the maint on those is. Anyone who got an experience on those?
I also had the Golf 5 2.0 tdi for about 2yrs. The only issue they mostly suffer from is cracked cylinder head on the earlier models and they end up burning coolant. Otherwise good powerful car especially for towing light trailer 🤞💪
Driving mark 1, 2.0TDI Tiguan for 11yrs no major issue now at 330 000km. I would prefer it not to have the DPF, although I had no issue mine still original because I frequently do freeway driving. The key again is frequent oil change and allow turbo time to cool after hard driving. I want to see if it can go to 400 000km.
Can we all not forget the Toyota Cressida 2.4 22R engine. Maintenance, reliability and luxury at a bargain. I've had mine for 4 years and easily drive to and from Durban once a month
I know that thisis an old video, however why is it that diesel quantum's smoke so much? I basically have two engines for 1 uantum that is alsmost swapped every3 years because of smoking and the turbo
Another car that will suprised many if well maintained, is E90 BMW 325 LCI with N52 engine, how do explain driving a BMW for 5 years trouble free except aircon pump failure. Best engine if serviced religously 10 000 kms oil change interval.
Well said...also true for BMW M54 engine is a good engine if well maintained, had it since 80k now at 455k minor issues done on it ,the gasket and vanos seals need to replace the seals only once...Bmw's just need oil change regular, I change the oil viscosity from 5-30 to 10-40 due to mileage to seal those seals rings/seals
Interested to see what answers you’ll get. I drive a Volvo V40 that I bought second hand. It had 34000km when I bought it, now it has 110000km. I love it, it’s very reliable and I’ve had no issues so far.
Very reliable but irs pretty much paper weight when you need parts. Pray thay nothing goes wrong or you'll be window shopping scrap yards or import parts.
Mr Mumbo I have SUV that I really really like. It's a Land Rover discovery SD4 with the 2.2 diesel engine. Over 100k kms What's your take on it? Reliability and maintenance cost.

That car is excellent doesn't break. The down side is original parts are sold by Mercedes so a little expensive. If you own one the only problem is the exhaust pipe cause it generate heat the manifold doesn't last.
The fact that you dont work on a lot of Hondas means that not a lot of them need to be going in to the repair shop...kshuthi they are reliable Ngyadlala, im just joking

Agree this old fords are reliable i have an old ford ikon bought in 2008 am setting on 554700km. Few issues after 350000km but its good.
Thank you. Very insightful but I only heard you address engines only. What about gearboxes MT/AT/DSG?
the vw 1.9 diesels are also bullet proof and the older vws like the citi golfs and toyota tazz cheap to maintain
My 2014 Polo Vivo is at 450k but runs like a dream
Thanks for the advice Mumbo!
Hello Mr Mumbo sir, I have a question, is there a way to tell a car that has had it's mileage reduced?
Love the content 🙏🏽
Hi yes you can on diagnostic
I had a 2008 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 petrol. That car was bullet proof. Best car i ever had. I regret selling it 😢
Good advice but I would never buy a high mileage diesel engine specially from VW without a budget for DPF , Injectors, EGR and Turbo repairs
Injectors😭😭
Mumbo what do you look for when buying a non runner?
What about Japanese cars, heard they really good too?
Would be nice if you added some photos/illustrations while you talk
My 2018 ford ranger is on 345000KM and running strong.
Hi man. look i want to sightly damaged cars and fix them and own so which project can one start with

Would you recommend a VW amarok auto? 2013-2019 model?
Everything is perfect here..
I am driving a MK5 2.0 TDI sportline 2007 model. I have been driving it for 10 years, that engine still performs. I agree with you.
I also had the Golf 5 2.0 tdi for about 2yrs. The only issue they mostly suffer from is cracked cylinder head on the earlier models and they end up burning coolant. Otherwise good powerful car especially for towing light trailer 🤞💪
Driving mark 1, 2.0TDI Tiguan for 11yrs no major issue now at

Yes Hondas are very strong and reliable, you will ever break a honda or even see them on the side of the road
Mumbo sir i heard you saying "also kia" when you were talking about hyundai does kia optima also fit in the list?
Mnumzane. Ngyawthanda umsebenzi wakho kakhulu sengfisa ukwazi ama price akho
Mumbo 👌🏽 thanks for the advice. How much do you charger for a 120000km service for a 2020 VW Polo 1.0 TSi DSG?
Polo
I thought i would hear Suzuki 0:33

Hi All, how are jeep cherokees? say 2015 3.6 v6 petrol about 140 000km
Can u please advise on Volvo V40 if is a reliable vehicle ?would you advise someone to buy a second hand with 150000km?
I would buy it lol, I've 320,000 km on my A4. You can't have worse problems than I've had.

Skip.. skip.. you gonna struggle trying to find parts.. you can take upto 3 months waiting for a part..
Is there another mechanic you can endorse?
I can tell you now Honda jazz is number one.
Brother how about higher mileage vw dsg? ⛽️?
Save up for that gearbox especially if it's a dq200

Isn't that the same engine in e90 320d?
Honda as well is good second hand

Nope just a honest opinion every one at home I made them buy Hyundais and I never fix them only service

BMWs, N52 SIX CYLINDER
You know your story very well, I'm on my 5th year enjoying trouble-free driving, N52 325 outstanding reliability that one.
@@mzansipunters4295 yes very good mechanical reliability. Only issues are related to oil leaks, but that's relatively easy to fix.
