And to think there are people on here afraid to put miles on cars and get so hung up about 'high mileage'.
It's a fantastic every day car, enjoy it like this guy has

At the end of the day to get to that kinda miles, the car has been on the motorway cruising...... a lot. Lot less stress than a car that is driven hard, tuned and does a lot of short journeys.

Not really surprising lol.
