My '98 is just over 110,000 but with my girlfriend living 180 miles away it's gonna be a lot more than that soon!!!

No problems with it at all though

97,500ish on a MY96 Turbo, currently using my motorcycle as much as possible to keep the miles off the car as I want it to last another 4years...

It is the best all round car I have owned and intend running it in to the ground!...

Currently doing around 40,000miles a year.. 20,000miles in the car and 20,000miles on the bike...

Not a single problem with the car, touch wood... still original clutch.. front disks are getting a little waffer thin...

Rear wiper motor is the only failure so far that I can think of..
