Lets see what ya mileage is guys

[TonyK7ng]

I'm interested to see what Mileage your cars have covered. ;)
Mines a 2002 ZS 120+ now on 102,789

[peterzs]

81,500 odd with my derv.

[shaunyd]

43,000 in my 1.6

[Ricwin]

55k on my Mk1 ZS 180

[Craig-ZS180]

Mines just into its early 80's now.

[mrmick]

My zs 54 plate 61000 ish mrs micks zs 54 plate 64000 ish

[TonyK7ng]

Bloody hell guys,
Check ya all out with ya low mileage lol
Cars are made to be driven, so with those low mileage figures I'm seeing your cars are either musium pieces or your all tight as hell and don't wanna pay for fuel hahaha

[mattie007]

95000 02 zs120

[mrmick]

Drive mine daily but only few miles to where i pick my van up from unit

[Craig-ZS180]

Haha, since I've owned mine I've had a few other cars in between too. I got mine on early 50's so in the 3 years I've had her I've still equalled an average of 10k a year even with other cars being used.
The derv I had for 9 months I ended up doing 13k in that.. Don't know how I ran the mileage up so much in that?

Still with lower mileage makes it better to sell :)

[TonyK7ng]

Man I do megga miles though

[TonyK7ng]

I'd never sell mine though :)
I love her too much lol

[Craig-ZS180]

I love mine too but there always comes a time where something more exciting comes up and you have to really consider the options.
Just have to see what happens when that situation arises as I am at present.

[Jay-ZS+]

I'll see your 102,000 and raise you. This was mine a while ago. Its over 125,000 now.

[stamford]

I think it is over 90k, no battery in it ;) But I don't use it every day as the commute racks up 350 miles a week and that costs a lot of fuel! I've had mine 8.5 years.

[shaunyd]

To be fair i do have another car aswell i have an 08 plate vectra c sri 150 x pack with more miles on than the mg haha

[TonyK7ng]

I get ya Craig, but you can always make ya car exciting, I.e engine transplant, big turbo conversions ;)

[TonyK7ng]

Shaun,
What engine u got mate?

[ZSONE80]

2002 180 saloon 54k

[TonyK7ng]

Wow more low mile'ers rolling in.
To be honest it would feel good to see less miles on the dash lol

[MG mad]

85000 km, bought it with 69000 on it 14 months ago. Quite a bit of mileage given we've never commuted in it. 2001 180

[Craig-ZS180]

I get ya Craig, but you can always make ya car exciting, I.e engine transplant, big turbo conversions ;)

Not with the money ill be spending. Plus with the v6 those sort of options are rather limited even with deeper pockets.
I'm not knocking my zs and certainly never will as its one of the best cars ive owned handling and performance wise and probably the best overal package in one but I've been hankering for a big power turbo for a while now and I may have found the right one now.

Anyway, back on to the thread there are some very high milers, there was a V6 on here knocking the 220k region iirc before it was crashed so they do get used and certainly can hit high miles.. :)

[shaunyd]

Zs is 1.6 vectra is 1.9 cdti 150 mapped to 185

I know what ya mean though Craig,
U wanna sell ur mid section of your exhaust ;)

[Craig-ZS180]

I know what ya mean though Craig,

Haha, I haven't thought properly about selling mine, the car I want is within price range so may not have to sell the zs but just take it off the road for a while. I get these little "bees in my bonnet" phases where I "really need" the turbos or something else and I always end up going back to the zs because its such a great all rounder. It may just end up covered up on the drive for a year if I do get the other car but then I may sell if I can get decent money for it.
All depends but I think this is all really due in another thread rather than in here. :)

[grimmy]

58,000 on my mk2 54 plate.

Where abouts in houston are you mate. Im in Netherburn at the top of the Oil fields. I havent seen your car about and ive been there 27 years ?

[Steven11]

Infact i think i might have. Do you have a private plate on the car with HAM in it ?

[Hambo-180]

I think i've seen you a few times, do you have a sunstrip with MG on it? (and your car is always immaculate!)

[Steven11]

thats me mate! i think i've seen you a few times, do you have a sunstrip with MG on it? (and your car is always immaculate!)

Yes thats me. I was going to say the exact same thing about yours, ive never seen it dirty, Looks amazing.

[Hambo-180]

cheers mate! i love it, i bought it new with 5 miles on the clock!
i dont think i've ever seen yours dirty either, very nice example...

[p_b82]

I am up to 101,800 I think last time I looked at it....

can't verify as it is currently on holiday getting more upgrades done on it :laugh:

not bad for an 03 derv, bought it 9months old with 14500 on the clock.... i would be at lest 15k higher if it had not been off the road as much over the years!

[Steven11]

cheers mate! i love it, i bought it new with 5 miles on the clock!

Unfortunately close up it has some usual Mg issues door handles, sagging rear bumper etc but im getting on to it.

Bought her brand new from Castle Bank Street MG in Glasgow (use to be at the top of south street) back in 2004 with 11 miles on her.

i bought mine from there aswell, Machargs, was a total spur of the moment thing, i saw one and thought...mmm...fancy one of them! 2 weeks later i was in possesion of a nice, shiney new ZS 180! Bought the plate 6 months later.
Its had a some of the well documented problems but on the whole its been great!

[Steven11]

I went in with a MK1 120 Saloon in red for an aircon re-charge but made the mistake of "going for a quick look around" and left having bought a MK2 180 Hatch in Silver, funny how that works. In the 9 yrs ive owned her the only issue ive had mechanically was a £30 coil.

[MG 53 ZED]

Mine is a 2003 2lt td on 102,450 miles.

[TonyK7ng]

What are the diesels like mate?

[MG 53 ZED]

Best ever TD i have ever owned, i have a full stainless steel exhaust system and numerous engine modifications so she is currently putting out 160bhp. Excellent amount of power, pulls extremely well and great running costs. She's a keeper.

[TonyK7ng]

Like the sound of high bhp diesels ;)

How many miles do you do a year in the Zed. We advise customers when buying cars unless you do 10000-15000 miles a year there is no financial benifit to buying one. Do Diesel Zed's have DPF filters ?

[Craig-ZS180]

Like the sound of high bhp diesels ;)


I dunno, they're very rattly lol..

In honesty I had a derv 200 that was quite highly tuned considering it started life as the non intercooled 84hp unit it ended up running 145hp iirc with all the mods done.
They sound nicer with a full stainless, decat and cone filter and on tick over you get a nice turbo buzz out the back. Just cant be afraid of a bit of smoke though as mine turned into a 40 a dayer under full chat lol

NO DPF, and can even blank the EGR so not even got that to worry about.. nice and agricultural...

They are not quiet or smooth compared to a modern diesel lump - but are simple and pretty bullet proof when you dont overly molest them (like me)

She does sound good from the back end but the td engine in the front is fairly noisey.

I only do about 3000 miles a year mostly town driving. I had a BMW 325i se before and the only reason i changed to the ZS TD was because of running cost ie fuel and tax. I get much better running costs now and a decent amount of power now the engine has been tuned.

[Ippon]
