270,000 miles on the same suspension would be possible in the US, I don’t think it’d be possible in the UK - the shocks would have been blown out for what, 50% of that cars mileage?

As a merican i always find these sort of "in the US" generalized comments funny. It's a fairly large place. Almost 4 million square miles in fact. We have lots of different types of roads. In fact, in my state, most of the roads are gravel. You can get there you need to and avoid them, but the quicker route is frequently over gravel.

In my experience, in any of the major cities you've got about as much chance driving 270,000 miles on the same suspension as you have of walking it! :)

What I mean by that is that a very large percentage of vehicles I see on the road in the US would have failed an MOT five years ago in the UK.
