Mileage
Over the last 2 years i have clocked up over 34,000 miles in the t/d (inc being off the road for 5 months during this time ) and about 3,000 in the gti, just wondering what sort of mileage you guys are doing ?

Re: Mileage
16v's probably done about 3,000 in two years. I've done about 34,000 since I got it in 2004 I think!

Re: Mileage
I've done a fair bit of mileage in my TZD Turbo over the 4 years Ive had her.
Bought mine in June 2012 with 157,934 miles on the clock and she's now on 240,100-ish
Between
June 2012 - MOT 2012 = 1,880 miles covered
MOT 2012 - MOT 2013 = 9,243 miles covered
MOT 2013 - MOT 2014 = 34,038 miles covered
MOT 2014 - MOT 2015 = 34,800 miles covered
MOT 2015 - Present day = 2,205 ish (this last one is a rough guess as I can't remember the exact mileage but the sudden drop is that she's off the road at the moment)
Total = 82,166 ish miles

Re: Mileage
I bought my TZD at the end of July last year and have done about 4000 miles so far. I use it and my Peugeot partner as every day cars, the Singer Chamois coupe only comes out to play in the summer though!

Re: Mileage
Mine works out at nearly 12k miles a year over the 12 years I've owned it, but around 18-20k miles per year that it's been on the road. Currently it's doing nothing but should be back on the road towards the end of the year

Re: Mileage
This has got me going as I am doing very little BX miles at the moment, probably only 5k a year.
However a look at my long running spreadsheet shows that I have done 410000 BX miles since my first one in 1993 clocking up easily 30k p.a. when I worked for a living.
I think they are too precious now to be used for high mileages so I just use mine locally only where it is surprising how often we get people coming up for a chat about what a great car their BX was !

Re: Mileage
I see little point in owning a roadworthy car that doesn't get used. It's like owning a wife that doesn't wash up or do the other thing wives do... erm, moan.
I have zero patience for your tedium.

I just use the 16v for fun these days. I don't want to pile shitloads of miles on it as I'll end up having to repair and replace worn parts. That's fine, comes with the territory, but I want to keep that car for good, and I'm trying to keep a balance between keeping it in good running order, and keeping it as original as I can, as there are a lot of memories tied up in the thing.
I use a more modern car as a daily, so I don't care when it gets knocked in the street or where I park it etc.

Re: Mileage
Same here now i have my work van the t/d wont be clocking up the usual 30 odd k's a year, that will be drastically reduced to prob just a few thousand and about the same on the gti which will only be used on nice days and shows etc, a fair weather car if you like...
When we have a family days out we tend to use the wifes' RAV4 which is a much safer car for carrying my 10 month old grandson tho a little more pricey on the juice.
The t/d is due a well earned rest now (and a little work) anyway, but both the bx's will be staying for the long term and once all the crap is cleared from the garage it too can be kept undercover.
