As I was a taxi driver for 40 years 30 hrs private hire & 10 yrs black cabs all my cabs lasted over 300k miles.the main reason for this is two fold.number one constant hot engines don’t wear.number two you must change oil & filter every 5k miles.as for the build quality of bodywork on individual vehicles could be a very different matter.
I bought a 2001 Passat TDi PD 130 Estate for £160 about 8 years ago. Hit 575k miles last year but took it off the road for some new subframe bushes and rear axle bushes
Yes,those VW PD engines are good.Have one at 302,000 miles.However had to replace camshaft at 260,000 when a valve lifter collapsed and ate the cam lobe.Oddly enough all other lifters and lobes had little to no wear.However not the end of the world.Would agree on rear suspension bushes,a know VW follicle as are rear brake calipers.
@eugeneoreilly9356 Has your vat clogged up before? I've had to have mine stripped and cleaned twice, once at 100k and then again at 200k. Currently on 259k. I had egr blanked off at 100k.
First Mondeo st tdci I had did 225k and I nailed it everywhere but I serviced it very regularly. Quick comfortable work horse for no money and broke hearts of many 320s at the lights so yes he's correct. As long as you service them but sadly most people don't
Depends which Mondeo engine it is. The 1.8 diesels will easily achieve it. Vauxhall's however not a chance I got a Mk5 astra to 150k and it was absolutely shagged. Currently running a Civic 2.2 diesel and it's solid as a rock.
@terry141186 , Honda petrol will always outlive any ford or vauxhall even if they were nuclear powered. They are just bad, great exterior design but the engines 😢😢😢 are as bad as bad can be...they just are.
My Volvo S60 Diesel from 2011 just passed 210k and still going strong 😎 I changed the alternator once and pretty much that's it other than timing belt, brakes, oil, battery and tyres.
I'm just about to pass 100,000 miles in my 1L Toyota Aygo... Still running as well as the day I bought it with 10,000 miles and has a rust free chassis. I did put a layer of waxoyl underbody seal on though to hopefully prevent any starting and I service the car every 5,000 miles it's due it's first coolant change this year (100k/10 years). The most I've ever seen on an Aygo is 256,000 miles.
@@user-so8wh4xf3t My mum has a 2012 VW polo diesel. She has nothing but issues but most of it is cause by the emissions control systems. Like the EGR and the DPF. I can imagine they wouldn't get as dirty on a petrol engine but I'm glad the Aygo doesn't have an EGR valve, there is a location on the engine that can be machined out to fit and EGR but I think that's for the 1KR-FE engines fitted in the Yaris. I only discovered it when I downloaded a full engine schematic for the 1KR-FE and I saw an EGR valve fitted in the schematic, convinced my car didn't have one I located the location and on the Aygo it's a flat part of the engine casting in the shape of the EGR mating surface, just it hasn't been machined out to fit one.
@@micheals1992My first brand new car after 25 years driving was a new Polo TDI Match, with the three cylinder 1.2 engine. It was extremely economical, rather odd to get used to the turbo lag on it and it sounded great but the steering was awful, it was so light, had no feeling when going faster. It also creaked and rattled a bit when new but the steering issue was unsafe, I should have taken it in but as id had other issues with it, I got rid after about 2 months. Very disappointed to have to do that. I got an Abarth 500 after that.
For me the Toyota Prius 2010-2016 models (I am not a cabbie but LOVE them in white still looks cool) The Technology in this cars is crazy and with normal driving CRAZY amount of MPG....hands the winner plus it will never break down..
Just hit 180,000km in my 2016 Ford Galaxy which is built on the Mondeo platform. Must say I fuckin love it. So much room for the family and crap in the enormous boot and does 40’ish mpg. Water pump and timing belt just done, serviced the auto box last week and serviced regularly in general. I’m really hoping it’ll get to 250,000km. I do about 15,000 per year so I’ll be there in about 5 years. In the three years I’ve owned it so far it’s been absolutely bulletproof, just regularly servicing needed and I chose to service the auto box just in case it had never been done.
There is a 1948 Plymouth Yellow cab in use in New York with over a million miles. Owned by Grandfather, Son and Grandson. and it's still on the road today..
Having owned a number of Mondeos all high milers I can confirm that I agree with your finding. In fact a couple of years ago a Taxi driver did over 1 million miles in one.
I had a 2001 V6 mondeo which developed a comon steering fault, my mechanics didn't want to touch the car so I sold it for spares or repair. Few years later, my friend had a 2004 TDI which developed the same fault. Someone tried to fix that car, but it was junk after with regular steering, brake, airbag faults and many ongoing problems. However, I loved my Mondeo when it was good.
Had one or two Vauxhalls always engine management lights coming on mainly caused by the mass air flow meter.what a pain that was.nowadays I steer clear of Vauxhall.
A former colleague left bus driving and became a private hire/Uber, he got himself a skoda Octavia 2004 1.9 TDI, he's got now 1.300.000 miles on it now, yes, 1 million 3 hundred thousand miles and runs like a swiss watch, he uses the cheapest Halfords oil on it but he does the oil change every 7-8.000 miles instead of the 12 000 recommended, "cheap oil, frequent oil changes, smooth drive, don't rev too hard while the engine is cold " that's what he says
The VAG 1.9 TDI was a good engine the 2ltr that came after was a bad engine and I can vouch for that so much so an independent specialist after working on it told me to get shot of it as soon as I could.
I have a late 2012 Toyota Auris Hybrid, and I've just clocked 124k miles. Still drives like a dream, and of course, the fuel economy is truly outstanding at 68 to 74 mpg in the winter and 74 to well over 80 mpg in the summer.
The main reason is the engine is not used as much with being a hybrid. Thats why they are a sensible purchase and can do huge mileages. Only downside is the hybrid batteries, they will need replacing eventually at a lot of cost, thats what puts me off buying one but I know I will save a lot in petrol money with the far greater economy. Choices choices…
Fiesta V (mk6) 1.4 tdci. incredibly well built and rust proofed, quite rugged, a best of type Peugeot diesel engine under the bonnet mated to an equally strong Ford 5-speed box, good electrics too. the only major weaknesses are in the drivers seat metalwork (can be strengthened) and the original factory fitted road springs. I'm the 5th owner of mine which is 22 years old and has 264,000 miles on the clock. it still drives like its a couple of years old. another one for this list is the Mazda B2500/Ford Ranger. virtually indestructable, its only the rust that gets them in the end. you can buy any car with a long lasting pedigree but if you don't maintain it properly it will turn into a dog just like any other.
@@garymcalpine4676 I'm perfectly fine, thanks for asking, and you lol? interesting, what's your survey source? there are still vast numbers of Fiesta V 1.4 tdci on the road, the pre-face lift (better option) will all soon be 20+ years old. I know the face lift version has issues with the DPF but most other cars do from that era. the Fiesta V spawned the European Ford Fusion (estate), Indian Ford Ikon (simplified more rugged continuation) and the Ford KA+ (platform rework).
@@hunchanchoc8418 did injector seals at 221,300 miles. injectors were originals though the seals had clearly been done badly before owing to the mismatch of injector bushes and one was missing. now 46,000 miles later at 267,000+ and still good. did the damped crankshaft pulley at the same time which sounded nasty like a big end going. I'm fussy with car maintenance albeit on a tight budget. everything is done by the book except oil changes which are done biannually or at 4000 miles, which ever comes sooner. "oil is cheap, engines are expensive" as the saying goes.
@@thatcheapguy525 That's good going :-) I guess the electricals are likely more reliable on the Fiesta than the Citroen C3 (?) I would have one, but no doubt they'll then introduce the Clean Air Zone charge a month later...
My 2005 Civic has 147k on it. Currently at a gearbox specialist having a gearbox rebuild due to the dreaded input shaft bearing issue other than that it still looks and drives like a new car and everything electrical still works.
I have he dreaded input shaft bearing issue but it is uneconomical to repair my 2001 civic as I bought it for a grand a year ago and the repair is around that including VAT😣
@@davapodI got mine done for £650 all in. That includes a new clutch and slave cylinder too. I have since sold the car to a friend as I was given a mk8 2.2 diesel civic for free. It's still going strong and he's got the mileage up to 180k. Its worth getting it done imo as the rest of the car will just keep going.
My 1999 Nissan Maxima 3 litre V6 is poor on MPG round town but is very economical on the open road. It has 257,000km on the clock and I have had a new radiator, starter motor (after market) and a new alternator spread over the 17 years I have owned it. As the second owner I have put 157,000 on the clock, and it still does 33+ MPG even with the aircon going on long trips. I use the recommended 95 octane, and service it religiously. It has failed its WoF (six monthly) twice, I damaged a rear light cluster, and the drivers seat belt needed replacing. It is a great car on the open road. My previous vehicle was a 2 litre Nissan Widetrack Bluebird, also a very reliable car and very economical five speed manual.
Ford Mondeo MK4 2009 2.0 TDCI owner here. Now over 200.000 miles and no big issues. Biggest repair was the sensor from the DPF system. Other than that only service. Every 8k miles new oil, nothing more. The PSA DW10 Engine in this thing is an immortal beast. Besides the Motor, the car has some minor issues over the years, like slow window regulator, failing parking sensors and cruise control not working. But you can drive without issues. i´m no huge ford fan, more the japanese type like Mitsubishi or Toyota, but in 2009 i tried something new and until today i´m not disappointed. Will i be buying a new Ford again? Maybe not, because the newer Engines have a very high failure rate. I think i will go back to Toyota or Mitsubishi.
Just came across this!! I have a 2007 vauxhall Vectra, bought for £600, 7yrs ago, with 98,000 on the clock, I've took it to 165,000 miles, fingers crossed for the 7th MOT pass in december whilst I've had it.
Sadly, we have just had to scrap our year 2000 Fiesta Mk 4. It had done over 300,000 miles - and had the 1.2 petrol engine. It still drove like new and the engine was incredible BUT rust overtook it and our friendly, local welder could do no more!
Vauxhall Astra... 500,000 miles ? You must live on another planet. Vauxhalls are disposable cars, and the old joke that the wheels fall off a Vauxhall that reaches 100,000 miles is very much a comment on their build and engineering quality. Same with most Fords too.
I get this comment a lot. Firstly, the video is a bit older and there is a new version my channel. Secondly, it's primarily based off the surveys and statistics of most likely to reach cars. There's tons of Vauxhall Astras therefore there have been cases of them reaching super high miles. Like I said, I made an updated video to this for vehicles that actually can reach it!
@@CarsWithBenI had to scrap a neglected Vauxhall at 126000 due to rust and manifold. Glow plugs were shot and it was still firing up at sub zero. It was my first car and did me well while I had it. Very powerful and cost peanuts to run. Underrated cars. Old Vectra 2.0 DTis were unkillable afaik. Slow chuggers but wouldn’t die. Only weekends was the fuel pumps afaik
I’ve gone full circle with cars. I used to think that German cars were superior in terms of reliability and engineering and French, British cars were a bit naff. Now I’m older and more experienced, I realise that a lot of the cheaper brands are actually really well made despite the cheaper appearance and extremely reliable but aren’t necessarily the fastest. I really despise a lot of German cars now. There are so many badly made models. I’m no longer a badge snob. I have heard some horror stories with newer TDI engines. Pretty much the entire vag group now I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.
The golden era of VAG diesels ended around 2005! The 2.0 came about and DPFs killed off the 1.9pd. Cost-cutting with engine internals started too. My 20 year old commuter/family car is a 1.9 tdi pd. 275,000 miles and sweet as a nut. I wouldn't go German in anything newer! I'd go Japanese I think.
Here is one for you, probably unexpected. I frequently drive a 2007 Range Rover 4.2 supercharged. It has about 250,000 miles on the clock. It drives like new, looks great and isn't particularly expensive to maintain. Since we only paid £2700 about three years ago, even if the engine blows up or the gearbox drops out, it doesn't really owe us anything.
Any Ford, no. That Ecoboost engine is a disaster with disintegrating wet cam belt and head gasket failures. And no mention of any Honda with the amazing ivtec engine. I don't think Vauxhall are that reliable either. Just my opinions though and what do I know! But thanks for the video.
Agreed. I had a fiesta 2016 with the ecoboost engine fitted. The oil strainer clogged and knackered the oil pump and vacuum pump. Thankfully the engine was ok I got it repaired and sent it to webuyanycar.
Mondeos are expensive sheds past 120k. Astra...dont make me laugh. My Volvo V50 Drive 2011, the one with the Peugeot engine has just passed 180k. Spend about £300 a year on service, tyres this that and the other. Drives great still does 50+ miles to the gallon on the motorway. Had a Focus 1.8 tdi that did 220k bodywork rotted before the engine gave up.
Exactly what happened to my 1.8tdi focus. Mine was an early X plated saloon with the tddi direct injection engine the only issue I ever had with it was the fuel pump failing but was easily fixed. Sadly the rest of the car just fell apart from the rust.
My old Mercedes C240 was working fine and just a few miles short of 300,000 miles when I swapped it for an E320 diesel. That’s now got 168,000 on the clock and I’m planning on keeping it for another 150,000 at least. Both cars very reliable, but I’ve always stuck to regular servicing at the recommended times, and if anything needed fixing, I got it fixed straight away.
I used to work wtih someone who had a 1996 Ford Mondeo TDCI that had done 260 k miles in 13 years and was still running perfectly. Similarly I was in a Skoda Superb taxi in Carlisle last year that had racked up 200 k miles in ten years and while it was tatty inside and had some scraches and dents, the driver said it had never failed to start and had nwver broken down.
I had a Skoda Octavia as a co car and all was good up to circa 45K when all the injectors needed to be replaced at a cost of nearly £2K. Other than that it was ultra reliable but was definitely showing signs of internal trim wear at around 60k which is when it got swapped out. Apparently it now has 113K miles on it at 11 years of age.
If your ever looking for a car that will last you a lifetime ….just ask a uk city taxi driver …and the car they’ll suggest will probably be a older vag group tdi….I have a 20yr old ….6 owner…with no service history 2003 vw bora 1.9 tdi pd130…it has 265000 miles on it and it drives and pulls like a 60000 mile car unbelievable
@@CarsWithBenalso what people don’t know is…taxi cars work round the clock 24/7…when the day shift driver finishes his shift he literally gets out the car leaving it running and the night shift driver gets in it …the old pd tdi vag cars are the ultimate work horse
Mine's a pd tdi 100 in an A4 (20 years old), still my daily commuter & family car with 275,000 miles and still sweet as a nut. Original clutch, exhaust etc.
Hello! This video has been pushed out the algorithm recently and thought I'd share a message since I am getting a lot more comments!. At the time of making this video, I was still new in the RUclips process learning how to make videos and although the information in this is true from what I sourced from the auto magazines, I have since updated this video with a PART 2 with more up to date information including Mercs and Volvos etc! Hope you enjoy! Cheers. Edit: Yes some Vauxhalls can do higher miles statistically due to more of them being made per volume. But some can still be questionable.
What no 530d or any straight 6 BMW diesel engine.also E-class Mercedes or any VAG diesel as well as skoda mentioned. I know of 2 , 530d BMW with over 200,000 miles infact 1 has done just over on its First mot recently. I also know of an 09 520d BMW that just this week it passed its MOT with just under 370,000 miles . What about the old S80 Volvo thats done over 700,000 doesn't Alex from Autoalex own it he did.
Rover 75s with 3 litre diesel BMW engines, saw one at a classic car show today and it's 22 years old and going strong. These engines never suffered from the HGF of the smaller K series engine and could last a lot longer.
@Glenn1967ful - the Rover 75s and MG ZTs only got the 2.0 BMW diesel engine. A tweaked version of the M47 engine called the M47R. I drive one as my commuter car now.
I bought a brand new Ford Mondeo Graphite 2 litre diesel that would cut out when changing gear (even at motorway speeds). The garage had it back 3 times to update software but could not fix it.
I've a 2016 Superb 140k miles. Well built and reliable. Just issues with the damn power tailgate electrics. Downside with the skoda is the lifeless steering . Does make for a dull drive. Mondeo tdci, had a 2009 with 175k. It was killed by the dpf. Too costly to replace. The mondeo was a great drivers car. Possibly the best I've had.
I had a Mercedes 124 series 300D with 550 000 on the clock and gave it away with a full years MOT on it to make space for my new Van, it still ran like clockwork but it was starting to suffer from mainly cosmetic rust. I think I would have a Mercedes on the list over a Ford or Opel
@@CarsWithBen yeah I’ve had issues with three VW’s, regulators, dpf’s, electrical. But nothing with the fords I’ve owned outside of the normal wear and tear.
@@CarsWithBen You generalise to much. You would be lucky to get to three figures with a 1itr ecoboost without treating it with kid gloves , I had a 2012 1.4 Kia Rio and I came upon a 1ltr focus on Porlock Hill in Devon and it just kept bogging down, in the end I had to pass it on a 1in 4 section of the hill, I had three passengers and about 109 bhp and no turbo a bit more throttle a lower gear no probs. That spoke volumes to me.
Im a member of the mileage impossible group on facebook. You wouldnt believe the shitboxes that 750k plus miles. I saw a dacia sandero 1.5 DCI with nearly 800k miles infact theres loads of them. Especialy cars with the peugeot citreon HDI engines. Suzuki swifts with over 500k miles, volvo's bmw's and a vectra with the 1.9 fiat diesel at 450k. Madness
If the Ford is naturally aspirated such as the Zetec 4 cyl, maybe. That Ecoboom engine is Shiite and their automatic transmissions are concerning. I have a faultless Nissan Note. Honda is absent but Astra is on the list? Excuse me?
I know this is a late reply but if you did get it keep an eye on the oil pressure warning as the 2.0 diesels like to blow a seal in the oil pump that causes oil pressure to disappear and destroy the engine if you don't react to it quickly. They also like to eat the main bearings in the gearbox and shit 6th gear out (happened to me)
I absolutely love bmw's but there's no way I'm going to own one in the next couple of years so to be realistic with myself its cars like this that I need to be looking for. All I want is for it to start firet time every time and not keep costing me more than fuel money (I don't think thats too much to ask for personally)🤷🏼♂️😏
@@CarsWithBen Yes, it was a 2015 taxi lol. They age very well. And the Mx5 was flawless. There is 2 MK4 golfs near me. A 2003 with 300k and a 2001 with 525k that was in the news.
@@CarsWithBen I was a taxi driver for nearly 20 years, I managed 451,000 miles in Peugeot 406 with a 1.9 XUD Diesel engine. Broke timing belt at 150,000, engine was repaired and the only thing that killed it just before it’s 8th year of working was a broken rear arm just before the PSV expired. My boss then retired it, just before it turned 19 years old, and replaced it with a 406 with a 2.0 HDI that had 200K on the clock. The XUD engined 406 was bought with 118,000 miles on the clock, and was 10 years old at the time, and led a tough life towing cattle. There was 300,000 approx miles on the original clutch when it eventually expired. Great cars!
Vauxhall Astra n Mondeo I seriously doubt that. Lexus,honda, BMW, mercs maybe. I had mercedes e class diesel,I bought it at 100,00 n managed 500,000. Engine was still going but everything else was knackered.
Not a single Nissan on this list.Thank god! Namely, Micra, Almera, Primera. I've owned all three at some point. I put 30,000 miles on each one of these cars within a year. I'm sure they would have broken down at some point in the future which is not good. I've heard some good things about Vauxhalls. Truly superb engineering. I can't wait to get one.
For all you motor heads ??? Im buying a car v soon for up and down the motorway to n frim work 50miles daily, I have 2 choices a 2019 golf 1.6d with under 50k miles or a 2016 audi a4 2.0d with 90k miles or more, what would ye chose ???
Gotta say ive always stuck with japanese cars and not had any probs,only ever owned a ford once,big bills big mistake,we're allowed one but never again.
2 very bad choices - as ex taxi can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, both Toyota and Vauxhall are useless these days without spending more than you would on a Mercedes-Benz E class or Jaguar XF, which I have done both excess of 300k in. Think you may need greater experience or just research a lot better.
Old Volvos. You didn't include them in the list. So... your list has zero credibility. We have tons of old Volvo V70's that have over a million kilometers on the clock here in Scandinavia. And they're getting road salt and all that during the winter.
Any car should make 500k miles? 😂 What an absurd thing to say. The vast majority won't because it's uneconomical to fix them. Any car will if you replace the engine, transmission, electric, rusted panels. A bit like the Only Fools and Horses Trigger quote of an old broom having the head and shaft replaced many times. They don't make 500k miles because putting a replacement 5k engine in to a car worth 2k isn't going to happen. Virtually no cars make 500k for this reason, even with good maintenance.
Utterly ridiculous not to have a VW here but slot in an Astra. Want a comfortable load lugging car that will do 500k if you maintain it properly? Look no further than a VW Passat 2.0 TDI. You will see more of these cars up for sale pushing 300k than any other car. The Skoda is popular with taxi drivers cause they're cheaper and remember it's a VW 2 .0 TDI engine under the bonnet of them .
As I was a taxi driver for 40 years 30 hrs private hire & 10 yrs black cabs all my cabs lasted over 300k miles.the main reason for this is two fold.number one constant hot engines don’t wear.number two you must change oil & filter every 5k miles.as for the build quality of bodywork on individual vehicles could be a very different matter.

In the three years I’ve owned it so far it’s been absolutely bulletproof, just regularly servicing needed and I chose to service the auto box just in case it had never been done.
PSA 2.0 diesel?
@@19jacobob93 it’s 2ltr diesel yes
There is a 1948 Plymouth Yellow cab in use in New York with over a million miles. Owned by Grandfather, Son and Grandson. and it's still on the road today..
Having owned a number of Mondeos all high milers I can confirm that I agree with your finding. In fact a couple of years ago a Taxi driver did over 1 million miles in one.
Thanks Steve! Really cool to share and yes, Mondeos are infact better than people realise
I had a 2001 V6 mondeo which developed a comon steering fault, my mechanics didn't want to touch the car so I sold it for spares or repair. Few years later, my friend had a 2004 TDI which developed the same fault. Someone tried to fix that car, but it was junk after with regular steering, brake, airbag faults and many ongoing problems.
However, I loved my Mondeo when it was good.
One thing that you should never do is let the fuel warning light come on the dash or let your fuel level run empty cause it causes damage.
Had one or two Vauxhalls always engine management lights coming on mainly caused by the mass air flow meter.what a pain that was.nowadays I steer clear of Vauxhall.
Not quite as reliable nowadays but never been perfect anyway
02 and Nox Sensors now..., lovely cars, just stupid sensors that do fek all..,😮
Interesting list. My family have driven Mazdas for 50 years. Absolutely bullet proof...especially the 323's and 626's.
A former colleague left bus driving and became a private hire/Uber, he got himself a skoda Octavia 2004 1.9 TDI, he's got now 1.300.000 miles on it now, yes, 1 million 3 hundred thousand miles and runs like a swiss watch, he uses the cheapest Halfords oil on it but he does the oil change every 7-8.000 miles instead of the 12
000 recommended, "cheap oil, frequent oil changes, smooth drive, don't rev too hard while the engine is cold " that's what he says
The VAG 1.9 TDI was a good engine the 2ltr that came after was a bad engine and I can vouch for that
so much so an independent specialist after working on it told me to get shot of it as soon as I could.
I’ve be to Turkey, taxi drivers likes Fiat Tipo, I’ve seen lots Tips with from 500 k till 1 million kilometres on their clocks
Multijet diesel ?
My mate had a mid-nineties Honda Accord 2.0 with 337,000 miles that drove sweetly and still very solid
and could have done the rest easily.
I have a late 2012 Toyota Auris Hybrid, and I've just clocked 124k miles. Still drives like a dream, and of course, the fuel economy is truly outstanding at 68 to 74 mpg in the winter and 74 to well over 80 mpg in the summer.
The main reason is the engine is not used as much with being a hybrid. Thats why they are a sensible purchase and can do huge mileages. Only downside is the hybrid batteries, they will need replacing eventually at a lot of cost, thats what puts me off buying one but I know I will save a lot in petrol money with the far greater economy. Choices choices…
Fiesta V (mk6) 1.4 tdci. incredibly well built and rust proofed, quite rugged, a best of type Peugeot diesel engine under the bonnet mated to an equally strong Ford 5-speed box, good electrics too. the only major weaknesses are in the drivers seat metalwork (can be strengthened) and the original factory fitted road springs.
I'm the 5th owner of mine which is 22 years old and has 264,000 miles on the clock. it still drives like its a couple of years old.
another one for this list is the Mazda B2500/Ford Ranger. virtually indestructable, its only the rust that gets them in the end.
you can buy any car with a long lasting pedigree but if you don't maintain it properly it will turn into a dog just like any other.
😂😂😂 the ford fiesta came last in a reliability survey... Are you ok?
@@garymcalpine4676 I'm perfectly fine, thanks for asking, and you lol? interesting, what's your survey source? there are still vast numbers of Fiesta V 1.4 tdci on the road, the pre-face lift (better option) will all soon be 20+ years old. I know the face lift version has issues with the DPF but most other cars do from that era.
the Fiesta V spawned the European Ford Fusion (estate), Indian Ford Ikon (simplified more rugged continuation) and the Ford KA+ (platform rework).
Doesn't that 1.4 diesel have a reputation for needing new injectors relatively frequently?
@@hunchanchoc8418 did injector seals at 221,300 miles. injectors were originals though the seals had clearly been done badly before owing to the mismatch of injector bushes and one was missing. now 46,000 miles later at 267,000+ and still good. did the damped crankshaft pulley at the same time which sounded nasty like a big end going.
I'm fussy with car maintenance albeit on a tight budget. everything is done by the book except oil changes which are done biannually or at 4000 miles, which ever comes sooner. "oil is cheap, engines are expensive" as the saying goes.
@@thatcheapguy525 That's good going :-) I guess the electricals are likely more reliable on the Fiesta than the Citroen C3 (?) I would have one, but no doubt they'll then introduce the Clean Air Zone charge a month later...
Er, what about the greatest of all ??? THE FECKING HONDA ACCORD!!
This bloke that did this video must pull his thumb...
206k miles and still going strong :)
In the U.K, the newest Honda Accords are 10 years old. Ok, probably good for another 10 years, but Octavias are still for sale new.
My 2005 Civic has 147k on it. Currently at a gearbox specialist having a gearbox rebuild due to the dreaded input shaft bearing issue other than that it still looks and drives like a new car and everything electrical still works.
I-shift? I-shift is poor.
@@ln5747 no 5 speed manual ishift was never offered with this model of civic in the UK.
@@terry141186 normal torque converter?
I have he dreaded input shaft bearing issue but it is uneconomical to repair my 2001 civic as I bought it for a grand a year ago and the repair is around that including VAT😣
@@davapodI got mine done for £650 all in. That includes a new clutch and slave cylinder too. I have since sold the car to a friend as I was given a mk8 2.2 diesel civic for free. It's still going strong and he's got the mileage up to 180k. Its worth getting it done imo as the rest of the car will just keep going.
Honda civics seem immortal. Volvo estates .
I crossed 3 Laks miles civic 1.8 UK , I think this RUclipsr don't know this best engine manufacturer in the world😂😂
Have had several civics and currently own a 2007 2.2 diesel. Can confirm they are absolutely solid cars so long as you can keep the rust at bay.
Unless they lose their head. Honda Highlander.
My 1999 Nissan Maxima 3 litre V6 is poor on MPG round town but is very economical on the open road. It has 257,000km on the clock and I have had a new radiator, starter motor (after market) and a new alternator spread over the 17 years I have owned it. As the second owner I have put 157,000 on the clock, and it still does 33+ MPG even with the aircon going on long trips. I use the recommended 95 octane, and service it religiously. It has failed its WoF (six monthly) twice, I damaged a rear light cluster, and the drivers seat belt needed replacing. It is a great car on the open road. My previous vehicle was a 2 litre Nissan Widetrack Bluebird, also a very reliable car and very economical five speed manual.
Those were the last good cars by Nissan.
The Vauxhall Astra is also one of the most unreliable cars on the road - fact.
Well up to H model they aint so bad my moms car is on 285000km and running quite nice wants a little oil now and then.
Fact you would spend 500k to keep it going to 500 k
Wrong, I have had 5 vans with no problem.
@@CarlosAlberto-ii1li sure you do lol
Ford Mondeo MK4 2009 2.0 TDCI owner here. Now over 200.000 miles and no big issues. Biggest repair was the sensor from the DPF system. Other than that only service. Every 8k miles new oil, nothing more. The PSA DW10 Engine in this thing is an immortal beast.
Besides the Motor, the car has some minor issues over the years, like slow window regulator, failing parking sensors and cruise control not working. But you can drive without issues.
i´m no huge ford fan, more the japanese type like Mitsubishi or Toyota, but in 2009 i tried something new and until today i´m not disappointed.
Will i be buying a new Ford again? Maybe not, because the newer Engines have a very high failure rate. I think i will go back to Toyota or Mitsubishi.
Just came across this!! I have a 2007 vauxhall Vectra, bought for £600, 7yrs ago, with 98,000 on the clock, I've took it to 165,000 miles, fingers crossed for the 7th MOT pass in december whilst I've had it.
Sadly, we have just had to scrap our year 2000 Fiesta Mk 4. It had done over 300,000 miles - and had the 1.2 petrol engine. It still drove like new and the engine was incredible BUT rust overtook it and our friendly, local welder could do no more!
Vauxhall Astra... 500,000 miles ? You must live on another planet. Vauxhalls are disposable cars, and the old joke that the wheels fall off a Vauxhall that reaches 100,000 miles is very much a comment on their build and engineering quality. Same with most Fords too.
I get this comment a lot. Firstly, the video is a bit older and there is a new version my channel. Secondly, it's primarily based off the surveys and statistics of most likely to reach cars. There's tons of Vauxhall Astras therefore there have been cases of them reaching super high miles. Like I said, I made an updated video to this for vehicles that actually can reach it!
@@CarsWithBenI had to scrap a neglected Vauxhall at 126000 due to rust and manifold. Glow plugs were shot and it was still firing up at sub zero. It was my first car and did me well while I had it. Very powerful and cost peanuts to run. Underrated cars. Old Vectra 2.0 DTis were unkillable afaik. Slow chuggers but wouldn’t die. Only weekends was the fuel pumps afaik
I’ve gone full circle with cars. I used to think that German cars were superior in terms of reliability and engineering and French, British cars were a bit naff. Now I’m older and more experienced, I realise that a lot of the cheaper brands are actually really well made despite the cheaper appearance and extremely reliable but aren’t necessarily the fastest. I really despise a lot of German cars now. There are so many badly made models. I’m no longer a badge snob. I have heard some horror stories with newer TDI engines. Pretty much the entire vag group now I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.
The golden era of VAG diesels ended around 2005! The 2.0 came about and DPFs killed off the 1.9pd. Cost-cutting with engine internals started too.
My 20 year old commuter/family car is a 1.9 tdi pd. 275,000 miles and sweet as a nut. I wouldn't go German in anything newer! I'd go Japanese I think.
@@itchyscratch3829Agreed. Toyota engineering is very good imo.
Our newest car is a skoda octavia. We bought it with £150k miles on the clock. But it's been well very maintained 😊
Brilliant to hear! They are solid cars for mileage!
I would always prefer a well maintained high mileage vehicle as opposed to a low mileage one used for repeated local runs.
Here is one for you, probably unexpected. I frequently drive a 2007 Range Rover 4.2 supercharged. It has about 250,000 miles on the clock. It drives like new, looks great and isn't particularly expensive to maintain. Since we only paid £2700 about three years ago, even if the engine blows up or the gearbox drops out, it doesn't really owe us anything.
I can confirm the Ford 2.0 TDCI’s are more than capable of doing over 500k. I know a good few
Any Ford, no. That Ecoboost engine is a disaster with disintegrating wet cam belt and head gasket failures. And no mention of any Honda with the amazing ivtec engine. I don't think Vauxhall are that reliable either. Just my opinions though and what do I know! But thanks for the video.
Never own anything with those ford ecobang engines.
Agreed. I had a fiesta 2016 with the ecoboost engine fitted. The oil strainer clogged and knackered the oil pump and vacuum pump. Thankfully the engine was ok I got it repaired and sent it to webuyanycar.
Mondeos are expensive sheds past 120k. Astra...dont make me laugh.
My Volvo V50 Drive 2011, the one with the Peugeot engine has just passed 180k. Spend about £300 a year on service, tyres this that and the other. Drives great still does 50+ miles to the gallon on the motorway. Had a Focus 1.8 tdi that did 220k bodywork rotted before the engine gave up.
Exactly what happened to my 1.8tdi focus. Mine was an early X plated saloon with the tddi direct injection engine the only issue I ever had with it was the fuel pump failing but was easily fixed. Sadly the rest of the car just fell apart from the rust.
honda civic 2002 and still going strong as new.change the oil and filter once a year, love my honda
Solid run abouts for sure!
My old Mercedes C240 was working fine and just a few miles short of 300,000 miles when I swapped it for an E320 diesel. That’s now got 168,000 on the clock and I’m planning on keeping it for another 150,000 at least. Both cars very reliable, but I’ve always stuck to regular servicing at the recommended times, and if anything needed fixing, I got it fixed straight away.
I used to work wtih someone who had a 1996 Ford Mondeo TDCI that had done 260 k miles in 13 years and was still running perfectly. Similarly I was in a Skoda Superb taxi in Carlisle last year that had racked up 200 k miles in ten years and while it was tatty inside and had some scraches and dents, the driver said it had never failed to start and had nwver broken down.
I had a Skoda Octavia as a co car and all was good up to circa 45K when all the injectors needed to be replaced at a cost of nearly £2K. Other than that it was ultra reliable but was definitely showing signs of internal trim wear at around 60k which is when it got swapped out. Apparently it now has 113K miles on it at 11 years of age.
If your ever looking for a car that will last you a lifetime ….just ask a uk city taxi driver …and the car they’ll suggest will probably be a older vag group tdi….I have a 20yr old ….6 owner…with no service history 2003 vw bora 1.9 tdi pd130…it has 265000 miles on it and it drives and pulls like a 60000 mile car unbelievable
Also Taxi cabs go forever!
@@CarsWithBenalso what people don’t know is…taxi cars work round the clock 24/7…when the day shift driver finishes his shift he literally gets out the car leaving it running and the night shift driver gets in it …the old pd tdi vag cars are the ultimate work horse
Mine's a pd tdi 100 in an A4 (20 years old), still my daily commuter & family car with 275,000 miles and still sweet as a nut. Original clutch, exhaust etc.
I had a 1991 VW Corrado G60 until 2016 and clocked up over 250k
Hello! This video has been pushed out the algorithm recently and thought I'd share a message since I am getting a lot more comments!. At the time of making this video, I was still new in the RUclips process learning how to make videos and although the information in this is true from what I sourced from the auto magazines, I have since updated this video with a PART 2 with more up to date information including Mercs and Volvos etc!
Hope you enjoy! Cheers.
Edit: Yes some Vauxhalls can do higher miles statistically due to more of them being made per volume. But some can still be questionable.
would you buy a toyota avensis 2012 or Skoda Rapid 2013 with 200k miles on the clock??? I've been offered each for 1500.
What no 530d or any straight 6 BMW diesel engine.also E-class Mercedes or any VAG diesel as well as skoda mentioned. I know of 2 , 530d BMW with over 200,000 miles infact 1 has done just over on its First mot recently. I also know of an 09 520d BMW that just this week it passed its MOT with just under 370,000 miles . What about the old S80 Volvo thats done over 700,000 doesn't Alex from Autoalex own it he did.
Rover 75s with 3 litre diesel BMW engines, saw one at a classic car show today and it's 22 years old and going strong. These engines never suffered from the HGF of the smaller K series engine and could last a lot longer.
@Glenn1967ful - the Rover 75s and MG ZTs only got the 2.0 BMW diesel engine. A tweaked version of the M47 engine called the M47R. I drive one as my commuter car now.
I bought a brand new Ford Mondeo Graphite 2 litre diesel that would cut out when changing gear (even at motorway speeds). The garage had it back 3 times to update software but could not fix it.
I've a 2016 Superb 140k miles. Well built and reliable. Just issues with the damn power tailgate electrics.
Downside with the skoda is the lifeless steering . Does make for a dull drive.
Mondeo tdci, had a 2009 with 175k. It was killed by the dpf. Too costly to replace.
The mondeo was a great drivers car. Possibly the best I've had.
Skoda is a Volkswagen, can be a big money pit can be nearly £ 2000 to do it properly, the Toyota and Mazda Definetly
Good video. 👍🏻
Had a Peugeot 305 estate sold it with just over 500k .kept one of the last mot cert for proof
I had a Mercedes 124 series 300D with 550 000 on the clock and gave it away with a full years MOT on it to make space for my new Van, it still ran like clockwork but it was starting to suffer from mainly cosmetic rust. I think I would have a Mercedes on the list over a Ford or Opel
I have a Ford Galaxy with 187,000kms. Gonna try get it to 250,000kms. Shouldn’t be a problem. Been really reliable so far.
Can't fault Fords, always have high mileage!
@@CarsWithBen yeah I’ve had issues with three VW’s, regulators, dpf’s, electrical. But nothing with the fords I’ve owned outside of the normal wear and tear.
Early versions were VW 1.9 TDI powered.
@@CarsWithBen You generalise to much. You would be lucky to get to three figures with a 1itr ecoboost
without treating it with kid gloves , I had a 2012 1.4 Kia Rio and I came upon a 1ltr focus on Porlock Hill
in Devon and it just kept bogging down, in the end I had to pass it on a 1in 4 section of the hill, I had three
passengers and about 109 bhp and no turbo a bit more throttle a lower gear no probs. That spoke volumes to me.
Which years of Skoda Octavia is the most reliable?
Probably the mk2 so around 2005-2009
nissan x trail 😍😍😍
Im a member of the mileage impossible group on facebook. You wouldnt believe the shitboxes that 750k plus miles. I saw a dacia sandero 1.5 DCI with nearly 800k miles infact theres loads of them. Especialy cars with the peugeot citreon HDI engines. Suzuki swifts with over 500k miles, volvo's bmw's and a vectra with the 1.9 fiat diesel at 450k. Madness
Here's a question that comes to mind Ben, how many Gearboxes would a Vauxhall Astra go through to get to 500k miles??... 🤔🤔🤔
A few 😆
A few too many!.. 🙈
Mk4 golf. I have a 150 pd. I see at least 4 a day on the road.
If the Ford is naturally aspirated such as the Zetec 4 cyl, maybe. That Ecoboom engine is Shiite and their automatic transmissions are concerning. I have a faultless Nissan Note. Honda is absent but Astra is on the list? Excuse me?
So the heated rear screen on Skoda now is not to warm your hands when you push it.
My Prius 3rd gen 345k madness but it now does have a worn out head gasket
Thinking of buying vauxhall insignia elite nat 2 litre diesel 123k on clock and 63 plate
Any suggestions worth buying? Cheers
I know this is a late reply but if you did get it keep an eye on the oil pressure warning as the 2.0 diesels like to blow a seal in the oil pump that causes oil pressure to disappear and destroy the engine if you don't react to it quickly. They also like to eat the main bearings in the gearbox and shit 6th gear out (happened to me)
No chance on the astra and mondeo. How many have you seen at 500k?
Love the superb ❤️
Will hopefully be my new daily later
Skoda's are so good for their reliability and seem to keep on going!
@@CarsWithBen Yeah I agree :)
My current skoda is at 22.000+ now :)
I absolutely love bmw's but there's no way I'm going to own one in the next couple of years so to be realistic with myself its cars like this that I need to be looking for. All I want is for it to start firet time every time and not keep costing me more than fuel money (I don't think thats too much to ask for personally)🤷🏼♂️😏
BMW,overrated.
Ford and Vauxhall, 500,000, thats the best one ive ever heard😂😂😂
True I am afraid!
Yeah joke
I'd replace the Ford and Vauxhall with any 1980s Audi 5 cylinder petrol engine or Volvo from that era. Bonus corrosion resistance and build quality!
astras can't really make it past 180k. nor mondeos. turbo rebuilds aren't worth it for these types because by then the cars lost value
Agreed, not seen many Astra past that but some vauxhalls can! Also this is based of the statistics of all vehicles combined.
Astras and mondeos are good for 150k but then with expensive repairs they can go on further
Hmmm have an Octavia. Needed a new Nox sensor £450 + labour. Car is only 3 yrold. Depends how you drive them
Diesels.dont like shorts runs
True. It's all ultimately about how you drive and maintain
450 for a sensor,stealership servicing.
Skoda Octavia vrs pd 150 1.9tdi 700k+ still going
Saw an MX5 with 600k miles and a peugeot partner with 550k miles
Peugeots are really great for high mileage!
@@CarsWithBen Yes, it was a 2015 taxi lol. They age very well. And the Mx5 was flawless. There is 2 MK4 golfs near me. A 2003 with 300k and a 2001 with 525k that was in the news.
@@CarsWithBen I was a taxi driver for nearly 20 years, I managed 451,000 miles in Peugeot 406 with a 1.9 XUD Diesel engine. Broke timing belt at 150,000, engine was repaired and the only thing that killed it just before it’s 8th year of working was a broken rear arm just before the PSV expired. My boss then retired it, just before it turned 19 years old, and replaced it with a 406 with a 2.0 HDI that had 200K on the clock. The XUD engined 406 was bought with 118,000 miles on the clock, and was 10 years old at the time, and led a tough life towing cattle. There was 300,000 approx miles on the original clutch when it eventually expired. Great cars!
@@grantmarshall3026 Really fair point Grant! People often forget Peugeots can cover a lot of miles especially back in the day!
HATE THE BLURRING VISUAL EFFECTS.
Vauxhall Astra n Mondeo I seriously doubt that. Lexus,honda, BMW, mercs maybe. I had mercedes e class diesel,I bought it at 100,00 n managed 500,000. Engine was still going but everything else was knackered.
Agreed that those cars can 100% do the mileage but I made this video mostly based on the most likely cars.
@@BibiMizrah Astra equipped with an Isuzu engine lololololol. Isuzu break many times. Unreliable
Merc W212 and W211. They just won’t die (generally speaking of course)
Not a single Nissan on this list.Thank god! Namely, Micra, Almera, Primera. I've owned all three at some point. I put 30,000 miles on each one of these cars within a year. I'm sure they would have broken down at some point in the future which is not good. I've heard some good things about Vauxhalls. Truly superb engineering. I can't wait to get one.
For all you motor heads ??? Im buying a car v soon for up and down the motorway to n frim work 50miles daily, I have 2 choices a 2019 golf 1.6d with under 50k miles or a 2016 audi a4 2.0d with 90k miles or more, what would ye chose ???
Defo would go for the golf
@shirleyelliott9848 I went for the Audi, delighted with it so far, golf is a great car but too small
Gotta say ive always stuck with japanese cars and not had any probs,only ever owned a ford once,big bills big mistake,we're allowed one but never again.
I know someone with a Scania P Series over 700k km, nothing breaks there.
2 very bad choices - as ex taxi can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, both Toyota and Vauxhall are useless these days without spending more than you would on a Mercedes-Benz E class or Jaguar XF, which I have done both excess of 300k in. Think you may need greater experience or just research a lot better.
All without a lifetime warranty, absolutely amazing, from a potential 90yr old
Started off so well till the Mondeo and Astra appeared
Mitsubishi shogun 4m41 3.2 diesel?

Toyota 1.6 ,corolla etc
Switched off at Mondeo! They're a money pit passed 120k
Sorry to hear! But, overall wanted the video to be based around cars that can go over 100k/known for it!
@@CarsWithBenvid was 500k. Most cars eat 100k without much hassle these days....
Wheres any odometer evidence, total conjecture
Vauxhall Vectra MK1 2L turbo diesel 50000 no problem Plus because I owned one they don't make cars like that no more unfortunately
The vectra sounds like a tractor, totaly unreliable and bady built, horrible car
Mondeo will do 500k as would Triggers broom 10 new heads & 10 new handles!
220000 miles vectra cdti sri 150 2008 still going strong
So a Vauxhall Astra has got more chance than a Volvo estate
Some people don’t like diesels but, “Skoda have a very good way of looking after their cars”…..what?
Old Volvos. You didn't include them in the list. So... your list has zero credibility. We have tons of old Volvo V70's that have over a million kilometers on the clock here in Scandinavia. And they're getting road salt and all that during the winter.
Any car should make 500k miles? 😂 What an absurd thing to say. The vast majority won't because it's uneconomical to fix them. Any car will if you replace the engine, transmission, electric, rusted panels. A bit like the Only Fools and Horses Trigger quote of an old broom having the head and shaft replaced many times. They don't make 500k miles because putting a replacement 5k engine in to a car worth 2k isn't going to happen. Virtually no cars make 500k for this reason, even with good maintenance.
i have a 2012 ford mondeo 2.2 tdci 300,932k and still going
Very solid cars
@@CarsWithBen I have a Mondeo TDCi MK on 290 k. Drives mint & so cost effective to run.

Such a lot depends on how they're driven!
No Volvo on the list….?
Utterly ridiculous not to have a VW here but slot in an Astra. Want a comfortable load lugging car that will do 500k if you maintain it properly? Look no further than a VW Passat 2.0 TDI. You will see more of these cars up for sale pushing 300k than any other car.
The Skoda is popular with taxi drivers cause they're cheaper and remember it's a VW 2 .0 TDI engine under the bonnet of them .
Pleased to see Ford nd Vauxhall there.
A real saab will do that mileage without a problem, same cannot be said for the gm models
Toyota, Honda, Suzuki.
Not sure where you get your information mate but someone is pulling your plonker with the Astra at the end lol
