My Audi so far so good. Just done servicing after 30,000km. The radio have a habit of shuttung down when its too cold, or too hot, or over some major bump, otherwise, no biggy.

No leh. I drove peugeot for over 120,000 km with no major problem. I do my servicing regularly and even change gear box oil every 40,000 km. The radio do go a little haywire though.

My relative toyota camry hit 400,000 km with engine and gear box still working well.

Seriously.... do engines ever break down?

 

Normally I only hear gearboxes

Yes engine do break down if the piston is not properly assemble, there is also other reason.

quite true, exception of older merc

Yes older merc is build like a tank, but not those build between 2000-2007, this period the quality is the worse. But now they have improve again.

Engine sometime will lose power and release a lot of white smoke and they will fail the compression test. At time u need to overhaul the engine to change some of the parts. Singaporean use to change car every 3-5 years thats why seldom have this problem. But down the road when coe is so high u will see a lot of car start to break down.
