Odometer says 68,000 but…
MOT from donor car says the engine had done 72,000 before it went into mine (5 years ago)
MOT for my vehicle (original engine) just before swap says just over 82,000
So current engine could be upto 140,000 but the rest of the vehicle could be higher.

Mine was first rego'ed March 1985 - 101,000 miles (almost 22 years) I reckon this is an average car - about 5,000 miles/year - which does seem low but there are plenty of very low mileage cars (16,000 - 30,000) out there and not that many really high milers - so could be about on average

mine has 167000 miles on the clock, it did have 160000 miles on the clock. I love my golf. it still pulls like a tug boat. *bows to VW*
Daily driving in a mk1 is great. Until it rains of course, then the sunroof leaks!! but you still suprise most people you meet….
