High mileage Calis

[sbmcd]

Just resurrecting an old thread but I do like to see what issues people have had and take that into consideration about keeping ours...Now 60k , coming upto 9 years old...only issue has been dreaded warning lights which i now have Carista for peace of mind-probably going to hang onto our van -cost us 42 K in 2018 when it was 6 months old

I sold my 2014 5.1 to a friend, it had 141 I miles on in after 10 years, had it from new, still running as new when I sold it. Wanted to but one of the last proper Californias.

I believe the key to engine longevity is regular oil changes.

My new Call has done 10 K miles in its first year.

My Beach is now 9 years old and 65K miles. Apart from servicing and wear and tear items, 2025 was an expensive year for me. The problems I have had in 2025 are: front crankshaft oil seal leak, power steering pump leaking, new heater box and motor due to linkage breaking, two new ABS sensors.

I missed out that Ive also had 2 abs sensors … hopefully 2026 will be less expensive for you

Just clocked up 30k on our California and into fourth year of ownership without any real issues.
One puncture, a phantom waning light in the middle of nowhere which went as fast as it came on and an "encounter" with our tailgate and a german caravanned on a site in Croatia.
We have just got back from a months adventure in Devon/Dorset and saw plenty of examples of older models in fantastic condition-Just wondered how many on here have kept their californias for years and what mileage they have clocked ?

Passed 100,000 in October. 2012 Ocean. Bought in 2016 and we have driven 73,000 in it. Still working well. Only problem, due to its age, we are banned from many cities (or I have to pay to enter) due to the silly LEZs.
