At work we had a new sales rep join us, he was given a brand new 2012 Commodore SV6.

He left the company in 2017, the car had 178,000klms on it.
When we sold it, the buyer looked at the logbook, it had never been service from new. :shocked:
New tyres and rear shocks were the only maintenance records we could find for it.

It ran like a clock.

Good stuff, My wifes Pajero has 200+ on it and still going with the original plugs, I have a new set on the shelf that I was going to put in when I did the Timing belt and water pump last year, but on inspection doing the plugs was an equal PITA requiring lots of Extra, and none of the same R&R including plenum that I couldn`t be bothered with until necessary, so when it starts running shitfull I will do it

I know to an old Lacer 2.0ltr that recently went over 100,000K's between any services.
No oil showing on the dipstip, it was only picked up after multiple letters concerning the faulty airbag recall that was waaaaaay over due. Car ran fine.
