Hi fellow owners..I'm considering extending my coe..I've done 160000km and am wondering if if the car will survive another 5 years.
I should be looking at about 250000km at the end of the 5 yrs.
So was wondering if anyone has driven their picanto above 200000km?
Any problems or any advice?

Planning to renew Coe for another 5 years too. So far I've replaced front wheel bearings, master cylinder , drive shaft cover, alternator , engine mountings , Aircon compressor , radiator , condenser , expansion valve , suspension, fuel pump, and maybe some more that I don't remember. I believed all these are wesr and tear items. So far no major problems.

Jansen Aircon compressor : making noise and not cold. Radiator : leaking caused engine overheat. Our car does not have coolant temp gauge so can't pre-empt before it overheat. Condenser : choked and clogged with dirt accumulated for 7.5 years. Aircon not cold while idling as dissipation of heat is poor. Fuel pump : hard to start engine because fuel pump can't hold fuel pressure.
