What Does Half A Million Miles Do To A Car? 

Small world

You need to get in contact with them mate. They had Miles's owner on the show previously.

Give this man some likes so Alex can get in contact with him

Amazing!!!

Prestige? You sure about that? The roads are rotten with them. Don't get me wrong, I like it though.

And both VAG too

Both with the 1.9 tdi. I wouldn’t expect any of their new engines to get near that

@@petea7323 the later 2.0tdi was the perfect example of blehghgghhh pure crap

I had a seat Leon 2.0 tdi. It got to 100k miles with regular servicing and now the engine is shot. Good old German engineering. Not reliable and can’t be fixed lol

@@bbbobnl only the PD-ones, the common rail's are good engines 2.0 TDI

Lmao

I can easily see it being sold for 3 - 4 grand if the interior is well preserved and with ~250 - 300k km mileage.

@@markozoric8063 Only complete morons would pay 4 grand for a 20 year old tired shitbox. And many of them really do where I'm from. You can have a very nice Mazda or a Honda for the same money.

@@buca9696 hold the hungarians pálinka and you will see. 4, not, but 2.5-3 maybe. Used cars are pretty exepnsive here, what you can buy Zafira in Germany for 1k euros you can sell for 3 at least here, many many people make their living from it. + costs on transporting, paperwork, etc.

You guys are forgetting that this car has the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Don’t remind me!

I'm from Utica, NY and glad I don't have to deal with the salted roads anymore. Replacing a car every 5yrs is insane especially considering wages really aren't high enough to maturely allow this to happen.

@@Buildxbeyond Have them give you an allowance of 80% the current cost of running a leased car to save them money, and keep your own vehicle on the road for a million miles. It could become a rolling advertisement for your companys parts as it keeps "running and looking great using our company parts!"

there is a picasso doing the rounds too on hubnut at 500,000

We love the 406 Estates in my house. We've had a 1998 1.9 TDi (Saloon), 2002 1.9 HDI (Estate), 2003 1.9 HDI (Estate) and recently mum just got a 2002 Executive (Estate) with a 2.2 HDI. Fantastically reliable cars, before diesels were strangled by emission requirements.

Aii

nah that looked exactly like youd expect from 500k if not worse in all honesty... considering at 500k most parts should already been overhauled to new ones multiple times. ive noticed that most people just try barely keep the car in driving condition instead of taking actual care of the car

Take care of any car and it will last you a good long while....... that's why I stay under my hood looking for anything that could cause the car to go bad..... already got just under100k on my Jeep and I've only had her since 2016..... still running strong..... I'm sure with a little TLC along the way i could get her to the million mile marker

@@christopherrosas2738 what kind of Jeep and what year? Even mechanics I've asked said your lucky if it lasts 4 years without dying. A million sounds far fetched if it's not a inline older jeep engine. My girls compass died at 173,000 ish and it's a 2010. On the other hand I have a cousin with a 2004 Laredo that he says has been reliable.

@@robmalcolm8042 she's a 2016 Jeep Patriot with the 2.0 I4..... only recently had to change out the throttle body and should be next week or so I'll be at or over 100k

Yeah

I'd like to see that

That's the mark of a good well looked after old car, look up the dealer in the service history and call them about the car, if the tech just remembers the thing, you know it's been well looked after. When I bought my 528i, I called up and I'd only told him the 'V511' part of the plate, and he was able to just finish off the plate and told me that the previous owner had spent quite a bit of money looking after that thing.

Nah that's boring, turn it into another Track Toy with aftermarket bumpers and wangs and such.

Nice my audi 80 already has half of it. And im pretty sure it would survive double of that if I'd be driving that much.

@@toaster_gmbh Audi 100🤌🏻🤌🏻

@The Trashman Naw, most are good engines. The 2.0 direct Injection ones I dont fully trust, the 4 liter v8's can have weird timing conponent failures. Plenty of vag engines have 300k.

@The Trashman Cmon the vr6? Even the 1.8t if maintained will go 300k plus. Technically the vr6 was designed to be a diesel but still...great engine. The 2.5 5 cyl is a great engine aswell. 300k+.

The 1.9 TDI engine in these was fucking bulletproof

The TDI engine is bulletproof because VW licensed the IP from FIAT's JTD engine. Which is trully indestructible.

@The Trashman uk uses miles. 2.0TDI s in Europe are stinky, shakey and bulletproof. 1.9tdi's even more stinky more shakey and absolutely refuse to die. Eastern Europe is full of 1.9ALH mk4 golfs with 600k that still have that much left into them.

I am sure it will. There are thousands of VW Group diesels with more miles on them.

There was recent news of a Nissan Frontier (Navara) that made it to 1 million miles.

Interestingly enough if you count that this car have done easily 50MPG (5,5L/100km) and some dealer service + insurance + tax, I don't think it went over 90k USD /65k GBP (in todays money) so no more than double the price on this car when it was new. Probably less as it had some options. So not bad at all as usually cars with this mileage cost three times if not four times more in running cost than in purchase price when new.

Also amazingly, it likely drove the owner to work where they were able to make even more money than that

LOL, this car isnt a milage hero.. my dad had a Audi A6 2.5 TDI 2001 Avant.. it was nothing but trouble, parts went bad, and the parts they were really expensive, it would of cost him at least 5500 Euros to fix the damn car, i did heard the 1.9 TDI engines are realible but its still an Audi that means they are still trouble. other parts besides the engine will fail.. and the eletronics! those are a nightmare in those cars.. so... dosent matter if this audi is a4 all audis are the same they are garbage... they are one of the worst VW group cars.. i would never buy an audi, not even a brand new one.. i would rather go with a Golf or a Mercedes, heck maybe a good BMW....

@@thomasb4838 SEAT is not the same as the Audi.. you dident have an Audi its a garbage car, you cant take care of the car every 3 months and the cost of the parts 500 euros, every 3 months! the best VW car is Golf MK2 and its 1.6D engine it can do milions.. and we are talking about taking care of the car changing fuel filters, oil filters etc..

Sido Ga Zna They literally use the same parts. This Audi has made it to 500k, you obviously just had a lemon of a car

@@Taylorjay99 xD same parts? no so to your logic the Golf MK2 has same parts just like the Audi a6? nah. nah. Golfs use simple and good parts that can last a really long time, audi makes expensive shity parts on purpose, and alot of car manufactors do that, because they live by selling car parts thats how they make more money, thats why these new cars are crap compared to the good old 1980s, 70s and 60s those cars were made to last 1000k because the car manufactors dident make shitty parts in oder to make more money from that..

@@Taylorjay99 you really think audi cares for their customers? they are milking their money and stupid people are throwing money on those endless moneypits... if Audi cared about their customers then all the Audi C5 with their 2.5 TDI engines would replaced with a diffrent realible engine, or with a diffrent realible car.. or if the owner wasent happy with the car, give them their money back, they dont care for shit.. they all care about money.. thats the thing that they really care about. they add these computer features and other stupid useless stuff.. so they can sell the car to bunch of morons who dont know shit and they think if they got heated seats or some other features they look or are cool.. LOL i laugh at those people... those people are miserable, they buy expensive things to be happy for a day, or for couple of months.. funny how the world works.... and those the same people who think that if other poor people drive old cheap cars, that they habe a miserable life, they are wrong, they are living a happy life with their familiys, they have good girlfriends that actully love them, while these so called rich cool guys only have hookers that love their money... xD

@@tjlovesrachel Well now you're diving into each specific example. So I'll take a gander: How many dies, and indeed continues to die, in a Audi identical to the one in this video, vs the 2 space shuttles that disintegrated (of which further flights with identical examples will not take place)? In comparison, the Audi still hasn't finished it's bit of effort on natural selection amongst humans.

True. That's why NASA spacecrafts have crashed. Maybe they should rethink their strategy.

@@GERntleMAN I mean if we take into account other Audis that have wrecked then the number of people that have died in that model of car definitely surpasses the Space Shuttle.

Of course they're not original mate, the car has enough miles to go to the moon and back several times over.

Sérgio Freitas . Go to the moon and get a little more than a third the way back.

I'm quite shocked when I heard that. Is it really worth paying fixing all of that though? And how about the value of the car itself? Also, no wonder it's cheap. Been pretty good though, other than the crash damage.
