    Default How many KM have you ran your VT/VX to?

    Im always seeing people throw around the numbers there VT or VX has and it always seems to be between 150k to 200k so i'm curious if anyone has run it to the brink of death and how many km they got out of it? my dads has 315k on the clock and mine has 307k on it.

    My VT Exec has so far travelled 418,000km.To be totally honest it feels like another 400,000km would be easy to achieve.Original engine,gearbox and diff still feel great,in fact I,m towing a trailer from Brisbane to Townsville later this week and feel confident that the car will run great.

    Mine's all original, 467,000km. Dad let it go a bit in later life, she needs a re-build, but technically - still going fine.

    Wow, my old 202 threw a piston at 286k, it was driven like a baby most of it's life and I drove it hard on the occasion.

    Dad used to do a lot of highway kms on it, even I do 30,000km per year on pretty open roads. The key is a) don't flog it, just drive it and b) keep them serviced.

    Now i feel a little easier about mine sitting on 307k, Last service was 295k so im gunna get it done after easter put it in for a full service and tune up, But she runs well and has enough power for me, im not flogging it or towing or anything just driving around as a daily furthest away i go is like 30km so i should get a bit of life out of her yet.

    210k before overhaul and rebuild on the 5.0 wagon - badly leaking rear main. 218k on the ls1 calais and it feels like it's just getting started. Original engine, prev owner put a new box in it at some point in time...
