as some of the trophys are now due there first mot i thought it would be good to see what miles everyones done in them. mines done just over 27,000 which isnt too bad for a nearly 3 year old car. bout average i think, anyone got a really high mileage one and any under 10,000 miles?
how many miles has your trophy done?
Mine has got 57300, just had its MOT last week, passed no probs.
He advised the back disks and pads need changing but appart from that he said it was spot on.

Mines done just over 24K. gonna get the 3yr service and mot done at the same time. I dont take it to the dealers I take it to a guy i know who does the majority of my car maintenance. He is very good, the logbook still gets stamped so it will still have a FSH, just not with Renault. Also its a hell of a lot cheaper!

I feel the same. He only replaces the parts that need replacing too, what i mean is renault replace brake pads etc even tho they dont need replacing during a service. Last time I took my car to the dealers they told me the rear pads needed replacing, So i got a set of mintex pads all around and when my mate give me the old pads back they had only used about 30% of there life! whats that all about !?
Mine will hit 32k when I go to work later. And it's due it's 36k service now as I got the garage to bring the 24k service forwardwhen I bought it. It's still going well as far as I'm concerned, it just needs a new exhaust and I'll need the bonnet respraying but hopefully that will be under warranty.
17.5k. Went through its MOT about a month ago when I bought it, had no problems 
just over 26k, MOT is still 3 months off.
i up to 24000 this week and first mot next week fingers crossed then i will wash my hands with renault dealers got to find a local renault specialist sick of them telling me i need my discs and pads doing aready "robbers"

Get the exhaust system nice & hot as I've heard this helps, how true it is I don't know.
Just means you'll enjoy the drive to the MOT station
I know it's not a Trophy, but my 55 CUP'd FF just ticked over 15,700 miles.
20,008 miles, ticked over the big 20k last Saturday.
First owner did 11,000 between Sept 05 and Easter 06 when I bought it, now it only does 4,000 a year.

11,400 miles. MOT this weekend. Prior owner used it as a second car and only did 5,000 miles in two years. Their wifes car was then stolen and it was therefore used more, did 7,000 in the following year.
I've only done 600 miles in it since I bought it in February 2008...
