Most prob a high mile car will be last longer is lower mileage are doing short jouneys.
My furthest journey is 5 miles tops, so the constant heating a cooling knackers them so quick.

if i was to buy one, would be doing 25miles in the morning, then 25miles after work, so not any short journeys, never had any problems with any of my turbos before, i know how to look after them and maintain them, so hopefully the next one i get wont be a problem either!
