My current engine is on 128k and still feels as lively as it did 20k ago, it all depends how its been looked after. I will rebuild this one though over sometime as i have a 55k engine now going in soon

I did buy one with 135k on and it blew the head gasket within 50 minutes of the m1

Hmm mine has done 23000 swedish mil, which translates to 230000km or 143750miles.

170k?

Thats kind of near to mine, any problems recently?

What typical problems does it have for its yearly MOT? Looking back over my service history it seemed to fail on emissions last time.

mine is just over the 190,000 miles!!!!!!!!

mine had emission probs short time ago, was down to the fuel pressure regulator, emissions were always 3.6 - 5.0 % last MOT after i chnage the fuel regulator it was down to 1.6 % ish and it passed the MOT for the last 3 years without a fail or an advise slip. he turned a blind eye to the emissions as that was the only fault, we just had to make it get down to 3.5 long enuf to pass the computer test.
