My 1.9D is at 158k, bit rattly and noisy, and the clutch/clutch cable needs looking at. But all in all its still pretty tidy. Always starts first turn. Got its NCT cert yesterday (thats the irish version of the UK's MOT, only we only have to get it done every 2 years!)

I bought my 1998 Mk2 Ibiza when it had 124K on the clock, the clutch was changed the week before I bought it.
It was in an accident at 145K but never had a problem with it, sometimes it nearly cut out when I went through puddles but I changed the plugs and leads and that cured it.
The timing belt and head gasket was changed the Friday before it was in the smash (Sunday)!
