I think you will find the general consensus on here is that miles don't hurt these big cars at all. She should easily do the same again if you look after it ! But I do agree there is a slight physiological thing that comes over you when the 5 becomes a 6.... well it did for me. LOL.

I remember when mine hit 40k and I was a little disheartened, 50k next, now I've got the Punto the 50k will come a lot less sooner - which was sort of the point.

When i was looking for my 8, there was a D3 on ebay that had done 380K miles, it was in as good condition as it came out the factory, had a full Audi service history and not an independent.
To put that into perspective - its further than the moon I'm not too concerned now at being on a 102K ![]() Last edited by Mutley; 24th August 2012 at 10:43 AM. |

It is just the thought of that extra number - when I bought it nearly 5 years ago it had 55K on the clock and the 100K seems to have crept up suddenly (it is my daily driver also)

Modern engines will go on almost forever if regularly serviced and not thrashed

100000 is nothing for these engines if serviced properly
