looked at a work ute the other day 460xxxkm on the odometer in a navara 2wd trayback ute.
over half a million kays in dads trusty tarago van when he sold that to his mate. that thing had ice cold air conditioning.

320,000km in my 81 GH sigma wagon which dad still has driving around.
300,000km on mums tarago, all original except the radiator cap which needed replacing. man toyota make em good 83 model

342xxxkm on the ef, just did a manual conversion on it. still goes good as eh ;)
the ge sigma nanna had from new (76 model galant/sigma) went round the clock many times... just got rid of that thing sadly. had been rolled and smashed n smashed. LOL

some cars are good and some are SH173.
depends on how they are driven and maintained more importantly.

I have no idea how many km's my Escort has because the clock only goes to 100,000km's! I imagine it would have gone around the clock about 3 times, but the motor only has 20,000km's on it
