> 70,000 miles is an incredible distance. I am impressed the car held together that long. I gave away my first car at about 300.000 km to my brother who drove it for another 100.000 km before passing it on. That's german roads, so well. My mother lives in Africa where road conditions are comparatively bad (as in gravel/dirt tracks most of the time and potholes you could park a tesla in) and her cars usually last about 300.000 - 500.000 km before she sells them off. That's mostly 4x4s, so rugged cars, but her husband has a BMW that's like 20 years old and coming close to 1.000.000 km. Friends of ours have a Landrover that is older than my mother, it dates from around WW2. It's their primary farm vehicle (in Namibia). I doubt this car has ever been on an asphalt road, there are none within a 100km radius around the farm. 70,000 miles is just about nothing for a car. Some people drive that much in a year.
