My Dad has always used Mercedes vans for his business. He had one of them a few years ago with 660,000 miles on the clock! I'm not sure if that was on it's original engine, but it was one of the most reliable vans we've ever had ...

There is a guy who works here at Ford with a Volvo 1800 with something like 2.1 MILLION miles on it. I think it might be the one that was in your article.

LOL! If you want to kill one of those engines, you have to try very hard.

On topic: A customer came into the shop where I work with an early 90's GMC S10 - 2.8L. I looked at the odo and it showed 614,338kms

I was talking to the trucks owner at the service desk, and he told me all he has ever done is basic maintence (oil changes, filters, plugs, etc.)

All he needed that day, was a new cap+ rotor.

FYI: 614,338kms is approx 381,732 miles.
