I’m on 98000 odd. 2011 1.6 tdi owned for 18 months. Had 81k on when I got it.
I’ve had 1 injector and a clutch master cylinder go on me in that time.

Well, this thread has certainly filled me full of hope. Was a bit concerned to hear of all the injector problems suffered by some of the group but reassured by all of the accounts of extremely high mileage vans.

Mine, a mere 32k on a 13 plate ex BG now used as a mobile tent. Please God, lots more to follow.

I know what you mean about the injectors. Yes, there’s a definite issue with them, but you only ever hear of the ones that have gone. You rarely hear of the people who have had no issues.
I still cross my fingers sometimes though

Bought my 2012 Caddy with 253k miles on the clock and a crunchy gearbox.

I fitted a BKD with 6 speed box and gave it a complete overhaul. I have only done 1500 miles since but hopefully it'll do another 100k miles without needing much!

For several years on Mobile.de it was common to see plenty of those hideous magnolia colour facelift taxi versions of the Maxi appearing with 350,000 miles (600,000km) plus after 4 years use - until the emission fix was rolled out. Now it is rare to see any Caddy taxis being sold off much beyond 200,000 miles even the latest Euro6 models.
