Hi!

Thought Jimmy's post was a great idea,so it inspired me to add this one too!

How many miles do you do in your 480 per year?

Me? 40000 average.Basically its like a mint 480 thats being given the life of a carefully driven company car!

15840 miles per year just down the M4 + whatever I do social wise.

I seem to have done loads of miles since being back in the UK.

Since getting the 480 last September I've did about 7-8K. Dire need of a service, still trying to get a couple of bits though.

From August 2004 up to September 2006 I covered about 40k in my Mini. The poor engine did that on two services, too!

Nothing like hitting the road and just driving! :volvo:

Zero in the 480 but it looks like its been to the moon and back with the amount of problems i'm finding. :(
I'm averaging roughly 16-18k per year in whatevers on the road at the time.

Last few years it is about 10.000 miles/year. The first two years after I bought the car (and before I got my T613), it used to be about 25.000 miles/year.

480: about 3,000 this year I reckon, now on 125,300 That works out at just 7K per year over its lifetime.

740: 16,000 this past 12 months, in just under a year it will be on 200,000!

I do about 13.000 - 15.000 km a year, but am planning on getting a 850/V70 to take some of the work of my 480's shoulders before next winter :)

yeah the v70 is a good car used to have a v90 which was very good and used to eat up the mileage without a problem. should look at them!! there pretty cheap for a top of the range one. :D
