I’ve herd of owners hitting 200k miles. Obviously it’s down to good ownership, correct maintenance and a lot of praying. All depends on whether you get a good one or not. Fare wear and tear, and correct preventative maintance to keep him in good health will help you go along way.
Engine seized at 500 miles… auto leaking badly at 8000 miles… auto replaced at 12900 miles… passed his mot yesterday, as he does yearly, with no warnings or faults. 2001 v6 currently on 18600 miles.

200k sounds like a good mileage to aim for.are hippos as bad as everybody makes out because from personal experiance i think there great certainly a hell of alot better than the discovery that i had before the hippo nearly put me off landrover for good nearly went for a slitty
