Bugger, I should have said what do you think is original.
Very true the use does dictate the wear on the car.
I use to do 200 miles in the week half town, motorway and it wasn't rush hour so no stop start stress on the car. I also use to do around 200 miles on the weekends.
The most I did in a year was 36k and I was servicing it every other month then.
No, not bored of it at all, I love it.
The turbo is still original and there's no play, checked it last year when I removed the EGR completely.
The injectors and fuel pump have been replaced. The injectors were replaced as one us to miss on start up on very cold days in the winter and the fuel pump as the demand pressure was slightly low when I went stage 1.
The clutch was replaced a little over 300k when the release bearing failed but there was still loads of meat left on the plate. The drive shafts were replaced at the same time as there was a bit of a vibration on long sweeping left handers.
I'm surprised the wheel bearings are still ok and the rear beam is one just starting to sound odd.
When I first changed the P bushes I changed the front wishbones bushes with poly ones and they been ok since but the P bushes have been changed several more times.
I always keep on top of bushes and dampers as I hate sloppy handling.
I wish I had under sealed it yet I got it as I hate seeing the surface rust under the car.

Has it done 300k of motorway miles, of town driving, or of dirt tracks?

Christ aren't you bored of it yet!?
Someone I used to work with ran a primera to 150k on the original clutch... Maybe yours is still original?
You replaced the turbo?

But seriously -
Lift pump One failed at 150k the other I replace as a precaution at just over 300k
Crank pulley 3 of them, I think they only last around 100k
Clutch onces just over 300k
Beam not yet but going to rebuild it soon
MAF 3 of them
Shocks and springs springs are still original and 3 lots of damers, always the OSF goes first for some reason
TRE's, wishbones (or at least wishbone bushes) wishbones are original but bushes, ball joints, TRE's and rods have been replaced.
Oh and TPS's. lots of them lol. god I hate these, 3 or 4 but only replaced with new once
