G'day all,
The most ive had out of a tank was 886km and filled up with 44 liter petrol, but that was on a long distance trip,  so that was not bad for a 1.5 liter forfour.
Greetings,
Eddie.

MOT / Service today at 181k miles - so 19.5k miles in the last 11 months.

Front wheel bearing replaced (it had got VERY noisy) and a couple of advisories but otherwise all good to go for another year.  All being well should break 200k in the next 12 months.

The highest mileage I ever got from a car was 186k from an Accord diesel tourer - but that had been on its knees for about a year before it finally went.

im assuming that its a diesel you have mutley?

taking in to account how old it is (assuming its 14 years old) its low mileage for a diesel.
my rule of thumb is that diesels on average should cover 20,000 miles a year, times that by 14, it should have covered 280,000 miles in that time.

Errrm...mr singh, his profile 'signature' does say he has a 1.5 CDI Passion   

[mr singh]

a combination of being tired and a duff laptop screen, lead me to not seeing the signature.

112k miles when sold mine.
Through 25k miles I have replaced lambda sensor, intercooler and turbo pipes.

Not much, as engine was going strong. Good engine. With premium oils and premium fuel I believe it should hit 400-500k miles of lifespan without complete rebuild.

EGR and valves of 1.5 CDI hates cheap fuel.

My best was 4L/100km or 70 mpg. Constant 2000 revs /60mph over 1000 miles. On premium fuel.

It should be better with cold intake starting around intercooler and KN filter. I never measured with this setup.

Mine just 112500km, so just run in.....lol

[mr singh]

my SB3 ticked over to 105300 miles last week.

if i had kept my 1.1 it would have been at 155,300 miles

Hmm, I understood that it his post was about the mileage tha a forfour has achieved in it’s lifetime... not the mpg? 🤔

[Lord_brabus]

My brabus hit 100,000 this morning on the way home from work, put just over 25,000 on it in the 14 months I've had it. I perhaps should have bought a cdi.

Sold my Mazda Premacy diesel at 268000 with burst radiator and head gasket gone;and my Renault Espace petrol still running well at 450,000, so that puts these ForFour mileages in perspective.Oh, and my Focus diesel recently at still running at well over 200,000 miles.

[Brabs]

Hmm, think that this is going a bit of topic? Longevity of forfours... highest mileage?

Hello there from Italy,

My 1.5 cdi amt is clocking know 231,000 km and still going strong as a daily driver for commuting (total 50 km daily) and occasional long trips.

From 2005 I've replaced two wheel bearings, one drivers door cable, one front semi-axle (2015) and the alternator (2018).

Front arms, links and shock absorbers (sachs) replaced around 2014, sourced very cheap on ebay and amazon.

Both central air vents broke one year ago, replaced with used ones.
Sadly, polycarbonate front sun roof is not in a good condition.

Ha ha, my barely run in 1.1 Passion has just passed 96,000 miles and runs as tight as a drum.

your 231,000 KM is a minor 143,500 miles, compared to mutley's 181,000 miles (291,300 KM)
