stevethegreek Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 11,678 miles last year (Nov '20 to Nov '21). That included a summer trip to Greek Islands, so around 3,000 miles in 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAZ Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Looked at my mileage yesterday - will have had her for 3 years mid April - 7,000 miles first year- then covid came along and 3,100, then this year only just scraped over 1000 miles so far 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could keep mine down to 7,000. Third year seems like neglect - must try harder.😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it 2-3 times a year usually (outside of these covid times), with car and/or bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_tl1000r Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Approximately 12,000 a year. Used daily. Bought it with 50,800 on the clock, October 2018. Just went past 77,000 yesterday. Not had any major issues. Replaced original battery, broken rear spring, leaky coolant hose, front wheel bearing, brakes and set of tyres.

Should have added though I may be looking at a new clutch. Strange groaning noise from gearbox area when I press/ release the clutch pedal.

Paul P Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Have done more miles in jan 2022 than I did in august 2021 - most of them today. Had a grand day out spending a lot of time going nowhere to end up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daboy3000 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I've owned mine since August. I have only driven it around the block 😥 Hopefully 2022 will bring the MOT fairies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynesider Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 My mileage is quite erratic, over the 3years of ownership did 1100 in 1st year 4200 in 2nd and last year 2200 perhaps its down to the amount of sunshine in a given year? So far in 2022 it hasn't moved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny5 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Bought my '06 2.7 manual six months ago and have done 5K, so 10K a year. Would be higher, though, were it not for covid. Car's a daily, a weekend toy and a tradesman's van 😜 Yes, really. You should see the look on some of the other tradesmans' faces! It may have small dimensions, but makes up for it with infinite headroom 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on 46,000 when I picked it up and now on 57,000. I imagine 11,000 miles a year is unusual for a 16 yr old Porsche. Anyone with similar use, I wonder? Id say your a lucky man, I'm usually 1,500 miles max a year in mine. Upside is I get the big smile everytime I manage to get out in it. Bought mine and the baby arrived the year after so the lack of baby space presents an issue. Thought about selling but I just can't bring myself to do it! It's worth paying the tax monthly for the odd weekend run out. ....and if I'm having a bad day I can just open the garage door and it reminds me I have some hours of fun ahead.

John T Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Did plenty of miles in me 986S but I bought my 987S BE in March 2016 with 46,000 miles on her and she now has over 111,000, all pleasure miles until last year when we sold Carolyn's car cause of COVID and her working from home, so She didn't need it. But, we only collect the weekly shopping, there's no commuting. So, averaging over 10K 'fun filled' Smiles a year 🤩 #iloveit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I had the two babies and the direct train commute even before buying so I knew mileage would be minimal. If I sold now the cash wouldn’t really improve my life, and as Gutley says, YOLO.

huytonman Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Mine is a late 2010 car with 49k miles, last year the weather/COVID blah blah meant around 500 (maybe less) and intend to make up for that in 2022! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
