I've had mine for 10 years now. Done just over 41000 miles in it (now on 86000 miles) serviced at a local indy every year apart from 1 during lockdown. Changed brake pads and discs myself a few years ago. Changed battery twice. Drop links and control arms changed out. Changed coolant tank to sort out low level (didn't work so live with it). Had rear arches done about 5 years ago ( rust starting to reappear so need to get them done properly along with the sill rears🙄).
All in all it's been great. I was only going to keep for a year. I'm now in a position to get an L405 but my indy says to keep hold of this one. What to do🤔? Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

15 years here 54 plate TD6 - my view is if you have a good one, hang onto it

Bought my first L322 new in Feb 2009 - TDV8 Vogue. Did something like 160k miles in that one before replacing it with the current (2012) L322 TDV8 Westminster which I bought from a main dealer in Aug 2021 with only 42k miles on the clock. Didn't even consider an L4xx. Expecting to keep this one for the next decade too! The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

Had mine for 10 years and still going strong for an old un, she will be 20 years old this year.
RR had 85k when bought it and just turned 127k miles now.

If I can keep the tin worm at bay she will last for years longer.


As said before, if your happy with it and have a good one, keep it. If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Longest I’ve ever kept a car, since Jan 2016. Only done about 16000 miles in it. On 98k now.

Bought my L322 in 2013, 2010 3.6 facelift model VSE on 36000 miles, kept it 4 years and chopped it in on 77000 miles.
The L405 was bought in 2018; 4.4 VSE on 23000 miles. Still have it, currently on 57000 miles and no wish to get rid. This one’s a keeper and 4.5 years is already the longest I’ve ever kept a car.

Will have had mine 3 yrs in may, bought it on 145k, now on 195k, had new turbos at 180kish and an alternator, new front air struts and some arms, but she’s like my Swiss Army knife and I wouldn’t be without it, drives around town beautifully, does our 1-2 trips a year to Cornwall, Alton towers in total comfort and tows the horse happily.

I'm a long way behind you all having owned my 2012 Westminster since 4 January this year. I have always loved the shape of an L322 and wanted a grey one with black leather and low miles. I got mine with 53750 on it and I'm loving it. It was cherished by its last owner who did just 18000 miles in over 6 years. He changed the batter and starter motor in 2021. Belts and tensioners have also been done as has water pump.
I'm getting diff oils done and undersealing and cavity injection. At the same it will get a check over. Arches need a minor tidy and they will be done before the winter. Wheel refurb on the list too. I love the driving position which is so different from my M5. Planning to keep both for the foreseeable future.

Had mine for 11 weeks, done more works miles than personal so far and it has been a fabulous place to be, especially when I'm getting paid to go driving it First time FFRR owner

8 years. 2004 TD6. Not much i haven't had to spanner on it. Just had rear arches and sill rears repaired, all rot cut out and new steel let in. then she failed mot with rear sub frame rot. Did the front sub 2 years ago, not too bad a job, rear is a different prospect, sourced a rear sub frame, repairs arranged, but if anything else big is needed, she's dead.

Had the current one for over 2 years now - Craig keeps it perfect for me. My "MO" is buy at 5 years old 60k miles, run for 5 years (to 120k) and then repeat. Hasn't quite worked out like that. First one was a complete mare and had to go - but still persevered for 60k over 4 years. Second was perfect for 5 years. Third was really very good for 4 years until it suddenly wasn't (chains went) at a bad period for me so needed to swap it out sharp rather than wait for a repair. And so on to the SVAD bought at only 4 years old and 52k - perfect so far so may have to keep this one for 6 years or more to make up for the losses! Mike - MPx
