Default Moon Mileage

Just what is High Mileage on these cars.
Getting on for 150k, I am starting to sweat a little to be honest.. almost thinking something is about to fail although there are no signs of anything doing so..
Needs a Cambelt doing, but this got me wondering, just what is High miles?

I wouldn't worry about high mileage, I'm on 55k and 219k right now, I'm going to drive the 219k miler into the ground, the engine is so very smooth, it has a full Audi history and has allways been done on time. All it has needed is the rocker gaskets so far. I want to see how long it will last, still on original gearbox too!

Oh ok that puts me in the middle somewhere then..
Maybe I will treat it to an Audi service then - or at least one by competent mechs and not me on the drive.. (but they aren't touching the g'box :-) )
