You call those "high mileage"?

Mine's a lauch 02 MCS, with Chilli pack (not that you had a huge amount of choice with the launch cars).

Problems? Well, the clutch was replaced at about 5,000. Erm, the boot lock was problematic for the first two years until finally fixed once and for all. And after that, I'm struggling to think of anything. Nope, that's about it apart from wear and tear items.

And it's done 105,000 miles .

OK, I'm probably going to get shot of it sometime this year (drooling over a Clubman S) - but that's more to do with acquiring a second child than any other reason; if we could manage with the standard MCS, I could see it lasting another year or two no probs.
