I'm on 145k now and believe me , my car is nothing but a test hack that does nothing but get mapped , get thrashed , and generally abused
And still refuses to die

A friend has a sport that passed 250k earlier in the year. I know its not getting quite the same stress put on it as a wrx or STI but still bloody impressive

I would love to see this question on a taxi / buss forum.
On a jeep in Animal Kingdon (Florida) that just drove round the park all day was showing over 300k Obviously I don't know the history of it but just doing 1 or 2 miles constantly soon adds up.

MY93 WRX, has around 240,000 miles on it. Changed the original clutch at 140,000 miles, so should have around another 40,000 on this one!
I imported the car in 2000, when it had only 46,000 miles on it. It's spent most of its UK life decatted and remapped for the last 6 or so years. Doesn't quite get the regular abuse that it did, but still does pretty well for a 19 year old car!

The photo above is mine. Now on 177k on original engine but 3rd box.
Basic maintenance aside, I think it's luck of the draw. My wifes near identical car was treated exactly the same during our ownership (right down to the same mods even) and it lunched 2 engines in the 50,000 miles we had it.
That's why I have a garage with a spare engine, gearbox, back axle, driveshafts, you name it

Mine's now failed its MoT, need to decide whether I can justify spending a grand on a quarter-of-a-million miles car? 
Requires steering rack, shocks, brake service and attention to the dreaded rear arches.....

In Finland I have seen many impreza turbos with 300.000+ in kilometers and my grandfathers friend has forester with 580.000 in kilometers. That forester is 1998 GX still running without rebuild but I think it will need it soon
