Volkswagen Golf TDI with 720,000 kilometres

It seems that with the crisis we are seeing more and more cars with a large number of kilometres covered that -for better or worse- are still on the road, some in a deplorable state, others in an enviable condition, like the Volkswagen Golf TDI from 2002 we show you here, with more than 720,000 kilometres covered.

Like many other cars in the same circumstances, this car has been looked after by its current owner since it was new and has never left him stranded on the road; only an alternator repair and a snowstorm, which left him trapped inside the car for a whole night, have been the major setbacks its owner has had with this diesel Golf, not counting routine maintenance repairs.

As you can imagine, the engine has never been opened and consumption hovers around 5 L/100 km, which is normal for this kind of Volkswagen from this generation, which are literally indestructible.

The Golf TDI (or rather, Roy Dyson, its British owner) hopes to reach 800,000 kilometres this summer, while Volkswagen in the United Kingdom gets on the train and has not hesitated to show it off in style to demonstrate the quality and durability of the Volkswagen Golf.

For long-lived cars, we don’t have to go far. In Spain, taxi drivers have taken diesel engines to one million kilometres (and beyond), but do you know of any privately used diesel car that has more than one million kilometres?
