High mileage???

[stokie1985]

Hi guys/gals, I thinking of buying a 1.3 k11, but I want to know if 117,000 and 140,000 is high for a 1.3. The reason is I ask is I know the 1.0 litre micra's can achieve around 120,000 plus and still be fine. Please can I have your opinion or advice. Thanks in advance.

Ryan.

As long as its been well looked after and there's no strange noises, can't see why there would be a problem

cheers dude, and yeah there bullet proof mate. I love them, I've had 3 so far, then had a break and had a 3 bmw e30's and now I've returned back to getting another micra, because I miss the fun and the nippyness and reliablity of them.

cheers mate, yeah there bullet proof. I've had a few micra's and loved every single 1 of them. There so fun to drive, and cheap to run and quite nippy too. I cant wait to buy another one, but this time its gona be a 1.3 = more power!

I´ve got now 185000 miles (286000km) at o´clock. I´ve driven last 63000 miles of it and there´s been two problems. In last winter one injector broke down, changed all of them. I don´t know car´s past, only thing I can see is done before: replaced water pump. Car is running well and there´s no oil consumption.

Here´s a bit chatting about the subject: post #37- and #47-

...and there was also loss of power problem couple years ago. Did this following thing, it helped.
