Hello. Does anyone here have experience with higher mileage (150k miles) 3.6 TDV8 FFRRs? Is this sort of mileage a cause for concern on a well serviced vehicle or something not to be too worried about? The consensus in another recent thread was that vehicles that don't get used much can tend to have more issues. These vehicles are in to my price range now and potentially a better option than a pre 2006 low(er) miler / cheaper one. Andy

Have a look at his thread

Thanks Rosco, exactly what I was wanting. I trawled through the forums but didn't spot that. Looks like turbo could be the main weak spot.

There is a LOT of debate on the TDV8 both good and bad, I had an RRS one and it was a flying machine but unfortunately it was an RRS so was . Had no issues with the engine though

But mileage is no indicator of impending failure

How about this one ?
I was after a V8 petrol ,but am slightly tempted by this . Too dear?

ive just hit 150,000 ,
and still love it;
keep it well maintained with regular oil changes and just enjoy it .
 2007 tdv8 se ,stornaway grey

Too many varables to guarantee longevity but mine has 186000, been regularly serviced but may go pop tomorrow, who knows, I just drive it and enjoy it knowing I haven't paid the earth for it . Just give it the beans now and then to keep it 'clean'

Are 4.4's similar in this respect?

mine is nearly at 152K and recently had it re-mapped and it has a new lease of life when needed. Goes really well and is serviced every 10k by myself, but use a local indie when needed/can't be bothered for other stuff. Regards

I can add to this thread, I have a 08 TDV8 full service history, 238000 miles usual wear and tear, sweet as a nut

238000 !!!!!!

That must be a record! That's taxi mileage!

Anyone beat that?

180k here (2007 TDV8) - just had a fuel pump failure - otherwise been running well & about to spend some time and money sprucing it up

238k gives me hope

Very interested to hear this. Can you be a bit more specific about what constitutes 'usual wear and tear'? ie just oil changes, brakes etc or do you include in that new turbos, EGRs, engine etc?  2010 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

In my case, on a mere 180k, I've had:

Usual tyres/brakes
Three sticking calipers (one fixed under warranty)
Some washer jets clogging up & non-return valve failed on rear washer
Usual TPMS issues
Heated seat wiring failed (warranty fix)
Alternator & battery (about the same time, alternator may have knackered the battery) (warranty fix) - 84k
Corroded brake lines (fixed pre-recall) - 122k
Boost hose - 128k
OSF track rod end - 131k
Rear mount suspension bushes - 163k
Fuel pump (at 176,666 miles )

Nothing too much in my case.

I have not had the transmission oil changed.

Edit to add some details and suspension issues
