Just a nipper - my 1989 Defender (Land Rover) is at 358,000 (at least...) with a lifetime of use still ahead. 200 tdi engine is bulletproof - there are documented exmples of the engine covering over one million miles without a rebuild...It's generally only needed routine servicing, plus steering drag-end ball joints and brake consumable replacements (pads and discs). THe one major job was a gearbox rebuild, at 230,000. If I could, I'd be buried in it...

Mrs Natsie finds it too big and heavy to drive comfortably, so she has a lesser vehicle...
