Hey guys

Recently I have been considering selling my corsa, as it is fast approaching the 100,000 mile margin. I have the idea in my head that after that, all engines go downhill and it will start to give me a lot of trouble. This is my first car, and i dont kno where this idea has originated from as it runs superbly and afta a recent ECU diagnosis it gave me a stream of code 12\'s (all clear).

So lets debate. In your personal opinion- is 100,000 considered the pre-end to a cars engine?

not realy i woulnt have thort.if ya had it serviced and lookd afta it cnt see them bein any trouble now days 100,000 miles is nothin.

there is a friend of mine whos corsa is about 170,000. so, urs should go on for a hell of alot longer.

my nova done 160k and its still going out in clacton somewhere (its in retirement)

my corsa\'s currently done 110,000 odd miles, still running fine,

last corsa had 92,000 had to replace the engine

i know of a corsa with about 130.000 miles on lol, and its still going. might aswell sell it though, get rid before the problems start.

i think it all depends on how the engine has been treated tbh

Yeah i wud have to agree wit Amanda on this one

its like if you hammer it constantly, no regular services etc, obviously its not gonna last long, they just need some tlc

my omega has done 120,000 miles and will go on to 300k!

my chav has done 84,000

Just hit the 100 K myself.. Well the car is .. it had a newer engine at 80K after it blew up (Abuse by a previous owner I might add!)

personally I\'m keeping mine now until it falls to bits

mines 136000+ and the only thing wrong is the throttle idle sensor,
revs a bit but i just give it a good frash and it goes back to normal running speed, but i still got confidence in the old girl
