It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right

Mistype.... should have read 75000 miles.
However I know personally of a 305D (XUD) Pug van used for small parcel deliveries up and down the M1 that did 650000 miles before refusing to start on a cold morning... makes you think, eh?

Seriously, has any Xantia been known to rack up this sort of mileage?

Agreed.
PSA mileages approaching 500k are not unusual.... it is mostly other things rather than the engine condition that dictate when the car goes to the scrapper. Other makes (i.e. Merecdes/VAG) are no better, and sometimes much worse - Renault are not in the ballgame IMHO.

My last XM had done 292k when I sold and I reckon it would have been good for at least another 100k

My Indy used to lend me a BX diesel with over 450K on it. I took it on a motorway 160 mile round trip at least once and it drove better than most other older cars. It disappeared after a while and I think it was because it sprung a fairly major oil leak and they couldn't justify repairing it.

Almost certainly the HG oil feed to the camshaft...
