For a used car?

 Good Milage

What is

Shopping used cars

When it comes to buying a  used car, one of the first things most people notice is the number of miles on the odometer.  However, what would be considered to be good or  bad milage? Continue reading  to learn more!

DOES CAR MILEAGE MATTER?

Every mile you drive contributes  to the wear and tear of a car,  so mileage can act as a rough estimate of a car's longevity.  When buying a used car, consider  all aspects of the car's condition, including its accident and maintenance history, age,  wear and tear, repair needs,  and more.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED HIGH MILEAGE?

Often, 100K miles is considered a cut-off point for used cars because older vehicles often start requiring more expensive and frequent maintenance when mileage  exceeds 100K.

Modern advances in automotive technology mean most cars produced in this millennium will keep running long after the 100K-mile mark, so it ultimately depends on a car's overall condition. Some brands are known for making vehicles that regularly exceed 200K miles with only minimal maintenance. Plus, highway miles typically put less wear and tear on a vehicle than city miles.

What if the milage is 100K+?

Ultimately it depends on a vehicle's condition, motor vehicle history,  and the car make and model.  Look into hiring a professional mechanic to inspect the used car you're considering, especially if it's odometer reads close to 100K miles or more. Many well-maintained cars can go a much longer distance without extensive repairs, and a mechanic can give you their perspective on the car's overall condition, beyond just  its mileage.

How many miles  is too much?

So what is Considered to be good mileage?

The average car gets in 10K to 12K miles per year, so used cars with  an annual average lower than  that can be considered as having  good mileage. Simply divide the odometer number by the car's  age in years to determine it's  annual average. However, a car's condition also depends on the make and model, its history, and how it's been driven and maintained.
