Any BlueGT high mileage drivers

Hi All.

Due to change my car in the next 12 months and on the list is the BlueGT (in fact it's my favourite). I've posted here before but I have one question - I do 24,000 miles a year and want to know if anyone else that does high mileage has a BlueGT? Not for economy or fuel cost, that doesn't bother me. It's more to see how well the engine has worn as I've always had diesel cars. When I look around I haven't seen many high mileage options so wanted to see if any of you guys and girls have one?

Not a BlueGT but my previous Astra 1.6 Petrol did 210,000 miles without problem, and was still fine when sold, higher mileage is better as the engine is running at full temp most of the time which is way better for keeping engine wear down. 24,000 per year will be fine.

I have a deposit on a 2013 BlueGT DSG which has done nearly 17K, so I hope to find that they are just fine. :roll:

I have owned the BlueGT for three weeks with 2'000 miles completed fault free, the engine is brand new so the overall average MPG is currently sitting below 50, I have been keeping an eye on the MPG for each journey and the best I have had is 58.9MPG. I am a very happy ex diesel driver.
