Milage is funny thing, we sort of base the life of the car on it but really it's immaterial. In days gone buy when cars died of rust after 5 years and exhausts lasted 2 years, clutch 50k and and engine 75k your average Morris marina or ford cortina had a pretty accurate life span mapped out.
Today a car is likely to be scrapped because A/someone paid you to do it or B/its owner just thought it was out of date.
Times change, my car is coming up to 70k and i was thinking its time to chop it in........but then i thought why ? OK so its cost me £4k this year, to chop it in for a new one would cost me £25k, TBH if i had to put a new engine, gearbox, another dif, wheels brakes and dozen other bits on it.it's still cheaper than chopping it in and the fact is i will not have to do any of that anyway.
My main interest is bikes, they don't have this milage stigma that cars have, my Laverda Jota will do 140mph, its 38 years old and god knows what the mileage is, who cares ? I did 100k miles on My Yamaha R1 and in that time it had a clutch....and 50 oil changes ( ever 2k miles)
Look after your car and it will last as long as you want it too, don't skimp on the oil, tackle problems head on as soon as poss, don't let them develop and don't try and chase the latest thing.....you will never get it because it's built in out of date from the day you bought it.
