Cant wait for the 0£ car challenge. "Hello mate i have a really tight budget, could you do "no money at all" if i come and pick it up right now?" - Alex
GankMan 😂
If anyone can do it it's Alex.
The closest I’ve seen to 0£ is when Jeremy had that Volvo on Top Gear that he paid 1£ for.
@@97I30T See? He isn't called Alex Kersten so he won't be able to do it!
I did that once for a trashed Mk2 Golf. Basically gave it away for the money that the full tank of gas was worth. Didn't have a garage and couldn't be bothered with it at the time. So, yeah. It is perfectly possible.
Miles: HIGH MILEAGE HERO AUDI A4: HOLD MY GEARBOX
lol
TOYOTA AVENSIS: HOLD MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION (no srsly they go far)
more like any other fuckin car if well taken care of
Hold my gear oil
Normal mileage in that old car in another countries
"Half a million miles". My first thaught was: "That has to be a 1.9TDI" And it is. Genuenly one of the best Engines ever build.
thats why i have one in my car.
hahahha Yep !
LOL, 1,9TDIs either go 1 000 000 miles or go to sh__ in like 80 000 and you have to change the whole engine. But yeah, if you're a lucky guy...
Opel astra 2002 g sedan, 700 000 km
I have a golf mk 2 with a 1.9 TDI 180 hp and its got 462k miles. I dont have any problems with it for now and lets hope it stays like that for a long time.
There’s a reason why so many taxis are Skoda Octavias with 1.9 PD engines......
An extremely high milage car that’s been serviced accordingly and is in good condition? Unicorn status car in the UK
That's the case in every country. People usually associate high mileage with cheapness so they stop caring about the car and just trash it around before selling it off and buying a new suv today.
Shame it’s not from Ireland would have had a leprechaun status!

How's the condition of battery after 1 million km?
@@sup1834 I think you probably would change the battery for the 100th time at this mileage
Wasn't uncommon for Falcons to clock over a million kms and reset back to 000000. Usually still drive another hundred or so without any issues
There are trucks with over million then they wack another engine in every million after that.
Literally the best £200 car in existence! That thing is amazing!! Those 1.9L VAG Turbodiesels are truly indestructible if you care for them. Put another clutch in that thing when the clutch goes and I'd bet you could drive it another 500K miles.
I'd actually love to see a resto series on this car. Like, if it's in the surprisingly good condition that it's in, a resto on it would be fantastic. Keep it going for another 500,000 miles.

Somehow I’ve only just found your channel and as a lifelong Top Gear fan I cannot stop binging your videos! Fantastic entertainment

with clarkson and the lads gone to amazon, this is way better than the current topgear

Have you even seen the new top gear??
Yeah but I miss the old one tho

Said it before say it again these guys are the new Top Gear, it’s like watching Clarkson, May and Hammond in the early days, brilliant! They get on, great format and are way way better than the current TG presenters

Great chemistry.
"I've had enough going sideways" I'M CRYING 😂😂😂
Watched a few of your vids, I like it, Subscribed.
Every time I watch this video, it brings me joy, cause these guys ar full of it.
You should definitely do a series with it! 1. Full car detail: interior and exterior. 2. Car economy challenge: Audi vs Skoda. That's for a start! You will definitely come up with some more ideas! Looking forward to it ;)
they are basically the same car, that would be a boring comparison, german cars all the time on this channel, c'mon germans are boring
@@simaothekid Yes they're both VAG cars on the same platform even. But the Audi is much higher class than the Skoda. The engines are completely different, Transverse 16v na diesel vs Longitudinal 20v 1.9 turbo diesel That alone is worth seeing the changes
@@televisionandcheese they are not on the same platform, the octavia is on the mk4 golf platform, with the 1.9 TDI ALH for the transverse platform, the audi is on the Passat B5 platform, with the 1.9 TDI AVB for the longitudinal platform, both of them are 16v btw LE: I rewatched the video and saw it has 6 gears, it's the AVF with 131hp, still 16v
You're right, nevermind then. I thought it was the same as the Audi A4 B5 engines
@E.W. Hans did skoda do the restoration on miles? I thought wrench studios did it?
"Where do you shop?" Rich boi: Gucci Car Throttle: West Kebab
ive been seeing that jazz whenever i look for a cheap car, been on there for months
Car update any time soon? Loving the vids!
Americans: Audi is so unreliable, buy a Toyota! Europeans: oh, look, another half a million mile Audi.
Only diesels before any filters!!
From one Audi to another it could be few bags of money difference. Buy a 2,0 TDI with DSG or Multitronic,and you shall see where the monkey ass shithole is...
@@eleonik76 unless you buy a multitronic after it has been reworked (2013 ish) and common rail 2.0 TDi's are amazing.
Americans don't realise how reliable Toyota is. They'd say to get a Ford or something.
@@kjusn Amazing? Ehm,let me start,DPF,injectors, turbos..too lazy to count. 2.0 TDI is one of the few VAG engines,even Audi wouldn't recommend you to buy.
Need to see more of that audi, that's mental you've found a car with just over 500000 miles!
Jdm4life I just wonder what the person bought when they traded this one in. I think they should’ve restored their own car and driven it to 1,000,000 miles.
@@Ducatista189 if it's that many miles your obligated to climb as high miles as you can 🤷♂️
@@Ducatista189 i wonder what actually made them to finally trade it in. I mean to have driven the car for half a million miles and only then get rid of it.
That car's a survivor. They should definitely try to get the mileage counter to zero again, make one full circle atleast.
@@taz874 Probably just wanted something comfier and newer? Probably wasn't that there was anything wrong with the car, I assume they just wanted an upgrade.

That car is basically Miles 2.0. "Miles: For more miles."
I had a good laugh at this now because I just finished playing Need for Speed Most Wanted last night, and the car I started off with was an Audi A4, and the car I finished with was a Golf V.. XD Love the show guys!
Hidden gems are hidden everywhere if you really take the time to look! This was awesome.
"How many miles is high miles?" "Well we round it to the nearest hundred thousand"
Ah... I only round mine to the nearest 50000... 350000 (343000).
My previous car had almost 600000km on it. It was still working perfect and fast
@@EngiNetion my das his car has 128000km
Never knew that was jack being pushed 😂😂😂
Why the dude with the truck didnt stop?
YourFather Because blindspot...and most trucks have no problem pushing a car sideways. So the lorry driver wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual.
Bradley Borg I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS HIM I NEVER WOULD OF THOUGHT OF IT😭
In my opinion it would be good for every driver to know the blindspot’s a lorry has. It would prevent a lot of accidents. I think it should be mandatory on the drivers test. If you want to learn the blindspots you can take a seat in a lorry and see for yourself. I highly advise. 👍🏻
Yeah we need more info for sure
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="630">10:30</a> Bro when they looked at the polo and the guy said its got a bit of mold, then I heard Alex say 'I LOVE MOLD!' that had me wheezing

when He said audi A4 with half a million miles, first thing that came to my mind was "definetly a 1.9tdi"😂 ive got a mk5 golf 1.9tdi with 155k miles, drives like its just came out the showroom lol
My MK4 golf 1.9tdi got 245k kms on it. Love that thing, drives like it just came out of the showroom as well
thats my freund
I have Audi A4 B7 with 1.9TDI , 116hp and 260 000km on clock, used as a second car. Car is like new and I will not sell it for long time. I put 20euros in it and I drive it for week and a half to faculty and back, plus here in Serbia diesel is not cheap.
I wanted a PD but all I could get is a BKD, hope it will last, no DPF to worry about.
I have A3 with 53 thousand miles it's like new lol
“Also, look at the roof.. there’s no like blood or semen”😂😂😂

People in the US losing their mind on that 6sp TDI! Also Looking FRESH in that thumbnail!
No joke. I need this in my life.
Fancy finding you in the comments hey
@Hallison Michel also worth remembering our weather so cars rust and rot like crazy. So expensive repairs involving the chassis etc are extremely common.
HumbleMechanic also that you have to pay a daily charge to drive in central London,
@Hallison Michel U can drive RHD in continent, after light lights change etc, it's still cheaper than LHD. Germany have shit market, because they have Poland as neighbor. Cars from Germany goes to Poland than Ukraine. A4 don't rust too much, they have Zynk coating on. Rust show in places where shit from street sandblast.
I knew it was a 1.9 TDI when he said a4 and half a million miles
Best engine you can get on that car, straight up
is it a pd130? they’re quality pieces of engineering
Try this with a modern 2.0 TDI...
It was the minicabber's engine of choice for a reason!
Tbf all that car needs is a clean or detailed and a new modern head unit with a screen

I wish they bought the Seicento, absolutely cracking little cars. Would no doubt have been a massive surprise how fun they are
I had a 2007 530i loaded with 490,000 kms and drove great. Still had tons of power. Started leaking coolant from pump and I sold it 1 year ago for $1600 CAD or about £1000
1: These three guys buying any cheap car that isn't a Miata is just so much fun - they really are KZhead's Top Gear 2: 500k miles is pretty amazing, and that 1.9tdi has so many perfectly running high milers. Something about that engine is just generally... strong 3: I'd love to see a high mileage hero series, and maybe in the future, a buying challenge where all three guys buy/research their own cars, then compete against each other. Very Top Gear, but this format is just perfect for that. Anyways, keep it up, and stop buying MX-5's 😂
That’s a decent car for 541,000 MILE AUDI!
I bought a tired 02 gttdi 130 golf two years ago. Tidied it up and drove it for a year, sold it 8 months ago when it was very tidy. 220000 on the clock. I bought it back two months ago (wrecked). Broken back axle collapsed front suspension and absolutely filthy. Two weeks solid work and a second hand axle and TT front end and it's back in good shape again. 230000 on it now.
Cars that have that kind of miles in the United States are on their third (List of parts like transmission engine) But most do not get there because their wrecked or vandalized by that point
I'd love to see this car fully cleaned out interior, engine bay, exterior and a decent service (hoses, fluids, filters etc)
Nursed up and down to bristol- that's my dads old car from when we used to live in Tewkesbury when i was 5
