Of course. When it reaches the maximum mileage, it will "Flip" or "Roll Over" and go back to reading 000,000.0 and start counting again. If you plan on selling the car or getting it registered, you need to remember that it has flipped and you need to add a "1" to the number.

For instance, if after rolling over, the odometer reads 000,047.6, you need to remember that it is really at 1,000,047.6km

There are no real limits to the mileage. As long as the vehicle is cared for, maintenance is properly done and it avoids accidents, the vehicle would still move even after decades.

Mileage is the distance covered in a certain period of time (in miles). So, a car cannot finish its mileage as long as it's functional and hits the road. I guess you're talking about the one displayed on your dashboard via your odometer, then YES_ shiit rolls over when it reaches its benchmark.

We just have poor maintenance in Nigeria which makes it seem like an unachievable and unusual feat.

*Buy a good/reliable car or brand with longevity.
*Read your owner's manual and adhere to the instructions, recommended products and services therein.
*Don't cut cost in maintenance.
*Invest in a 'good' mechanic.
*Be proactive in repairs, never ignore noises and vibrations. Don't be doing I go repair am 'month end' or 'christmas'.
*Don't abuse the car from behind the wheels (i.e) don't drive like an agbero.


High mileage should be synonymous to old age ; so, you'll be stuck with a car riddled with outdated (safety) features.

Treat your golf well, and maybe, just maybe_ you'll find out yourself that 'a car can move when it finishes its mileage'.

When the cars mileage finishes that's the end of the car, all functions will shut down, however if you keep feeding it petrol and you are lucky it may have a baby.

First time this was recorded in Nigeria was when a 230E gave birth to a 190E, hence the name baby benz,
