Default What's the highest mileage UK S2000?

Anyone know?

I'm just curious and would like to know what to aim for

Currently at 112k but should be putting another 25-30k on that again this year if it holds out.

Parts of mine are still going strong at 122K. The engine went at 95K.

Mileage isn't any indicator. If you're spending all day in 6th gear at 4,000rpm on the motorway, you're going to rack up lots of miles with a small amount of wear.

Guy I work with bought his 99 model 7 years ago on 70k and now it's on 170k. Only thing he's done is new timing chain and tensioner. He's always used mobil 1 oil and he says it doesn't use any oil although he did says he doesn't rev it to 9k which may explain the lack of oil consumption

He's asking UK.

Mine before it blew was 126,189. Think there are higher.

I wish I'd had the timing chain replaced as that's what killed the engine. I always wonder if I'd had it serviced by Honda they might have said "you need a new timing chain", and saved me a lot of cost and hassle.
