Subaru Legacy lover, Christopher Onslow is a car salesman’s ultimate nightmare. For he won’t be parted from his 223,000 mile-plus estate.
Instead he intends keeping the fault-free eight-year-old indefinitely - or at least until it finally wears out.
Christopher from Perthshire, first ran the 2.0 litre Legacy as a company car pounding the motorways of Scotland and the North West of England.
Then at 120,000 miles, he decided to buy it. As a precaution, the clutch was changed. Since then, nothing has worn out or been replaced apart from tyres.
"The secret is sticking to the regular service intervals and using genuine parts," said the financial services sector employee.
He added: "I originally chose a Subaru because my wife, Paula, had enjoyed such good service from her little Justy which she found great in the snow. She now runs a ‘P’ registration Legacy but that’s just a baby at 98,000 miles. I’d recommend a Subaru to anyone."
