60k miles, 3 timing chain tensioners, 1 map sensor.
70000 miles (112000 km) no problem.
Bought the car with 52000 m Xmas 2004.
Only replaced the fuel so far
Serious : 2 clutches .. yeah because the first one was as good as busted when I bought it, didn't notice it, thought it was slipping in the heavy rain @ testdrive (do NOT testdrive it in the rain! ), the replacement under warranty was a new but a bad one (loose springs + rattles in gearbox etc), now its ok with the updated clutch.
Serious : left rear wheel bearing under warranty.
And a lightbulb in right "citylight" (not the Xenon.. oh NO)

I'm hijacking this thread with another question. How about a very low mileaged F20c. Example: 11k miles in a MY00.
The car hasn't been driven much so should I expect anything?

up on 62K
nothing major to my knowledge (bought at 49K) drive it every day and drive it hard.
1. rear clicking - fixed by torquing the rear axle nut
2. replaced roof - got a glass top (plastic had hole in it)
Aside from that pretty good, a little noisy and notchy but its probably clutch buzz and cold weather. One a open road once she gets warmed up she's a beast.
