Does it ever worry you when you see cars being stripped at 60,000 miles. It's stating to worry me now as my Corsa is on 22,000 miles and i know for a fact this time next year it will be close to 40,000.

Just kind off worrying that i've seen loads of cars stripped at 60k. 60,000 miles is not all that much really. Think i'll stop abusing my car so much

My 12v is on about 71k miles. Uses no oil, no water, no knocks, nothing - don't worry, if a car is serviced and looked after i.e. allowed to warm up, there is no reason why it shouldn't last well over 100k.

Your warm, sunny, non-rainy climate hasn't aided that of course
