Long-term ownership at 270,000 km

Tags: #reliability

One owner reports 270,000 km of ownership since 2018 with excellent overall reliability and a maintenance-first approach (no cutting corners). Service/repair history:

• Engine oil: changed every 10,000 km throughout ownership.
• Spark plugs: replaced only twice in 270,000 km.
• Catalytic converter: failed at 170,000 km — handled by removal (see the dedicated catalytic converter removal card).
• Transmission: partial oil change with filter at 200,000 km.
• Fuel filter: replaced once.
• Front brake discs: replaced at 255,000 km.
• Rear hub: replaced at 260,000 km.
• Front suspension: arms/struts replaced.
• All remaining systems reported as still functional at the time of the report.

The owner attributes the car's longevity to consistent, non-deferred maintenance rather than any special repairs.¹²
