Peugeot 205 mileage, is this a record?

Question

my little car has gone to be recycled after 306777 miles is this a record for a 205

Answer 1

That's good going for any small car! Hope you gave her a good send-off!

Answer 2

that's awesome!

i had a 205 that died around the 240,000 mark over 300k is amazing!

Answer 3

Who says Peugeot's are rubbish?!

Answer 4

Not bad at all!

Answer 5

That is a lot of mileage! My 1.1 Petrol 205 has done 122K+ and still runs sweet! I reckon I could get it past 160K easy with the state it's in.

Answer 6

I would be surprised if it is, I have heard of other model Peugeots that have done more, eg an 84 505 turbo diesel that had the odometer fail at 630,000 miles but was still going earlier this year, so it is quite possible that other 205s have made it that far. It is quite common to find Peugeots with over 200,000 miles / 300,000 km on them.Having said that, it is still an impressive mileage for a small car!

What led to it's final demise? was it suspension, body, drivetrain or engine failure? Was it the 1.7 or 1.9 diesel, with or without turbo?

I have a 106 diesel with about 370,000 km behind it, needs new rear suspension, gearbox and clutch, but otherwise still runs well!
