94' 940 220,000+ Miles

Only failure was a radiator and thermostat which I replaced. No major component changes. I traded the car in about 2 years ago.

Currently I'm driving a 99' V70 (Base model) with 130,000+ Miles without any failures of parts or major component changes.

Approaching 227k miles on the '94. Original engine, original transmission, original clutch - the clutch does chatter a bit in the morning, but it doesn't slip.
