No breakdowns, no issues and the only non maintenance items have been a calliper stick and a seal require replacing, both of which were taken care of as and when.

Be under no illusions however, at 100k you need all the fluids dropped etc etc and if you do it yourself it’s fine. Start sending it to dealers and it could get very very expensive.
That's very impressive!

Handily, I have a colleague who's an ex motor mechanic, so might bug him for how easy fluids would be to change myself (or in exchange for a bottle of gin or two...)
