Cheers for the replies boys...
I did mean to put it in the Mk8 section but couldn’t work out how to stick it in there other than deleting post...!!
I’m always looking around Al at vans.
Mines at 408,000.
Few boys I know have had problems with theirs with only about 60/70K down.
They moan there ain’t much Torque but then they all rent them so only basic 125ps.
Spoke to Coconut and his boss has a 170 L4H3 loaded with a Compressor and tool boxes etc etc but pulls pretty well.

408,000 miles that is seriously high mileage for a van that's only been around 5 years. Testament to the MK8 Transit for sure. Wondering what year your mk8 is now?

Azer has a 200ps 2010 Mk7, which has covered 408k. His post is here as he's asking about high mileage on a new Mk8 :)

high milage and low years is good thing. it means it is driving long distances and got all its maintenance at the stealership.

bought a 7 year old E class merc once with 600k (miles) on the lock, it was a old cab. the suspention was completly shot but everything else was perfect. it only drove airport runs so mainly highway use and only was used by 4 different drivers. it ran perfectly until it got wrecked in the parking lot by a truck.

My mistake, I was wondering about the MK7 in his pic as I submitted that and I was thinking 408, on a MK8 already, HOW?

Jay...I did put in the wrong section...!!! :oops:
I’ve been offered a Mk 8 130Ps Trend with 141,000 on the clock.
Clean as a whistle and I was wondering what or if anyone had come across any problems with a Mk8 with similar mileage on.
