The most distant objects that are actually part of our solar system are probably long-period comets that move between the inner solar system and the proposed "Oort Cloud". If we accept the theory of the Oort Cloud - that there must be a vast reservoir of comet-like material far away from the Sun, because we know that we're still seeing comets and they cannot last forever - then some bodies in the Oort Cloud would be "most distant".

However, Oort Cloud objects are generally too small and too dark and too distant to be seen even in our largest telescopes; we have never detected anything out there. Yet.
