What Is Considered High Mileage for a Used Car?

What is good mileage for a used car? Due to the increase in service and repair costs over a car’s lifespan, many people looking into a used car are searching for something under 100,000 miles. When you take into account the fact that the average car driver racks up around 10,000-12,000 miles yearly, there are many factors you want to consider:

  • Regular Vehicle Maintenance: A car with 15,000 miles that doesn’t receive regular service may have more issues than a car with over 30,000 miles that didn’t receive regular service. When purchasing your vehicle, be sure to request maintenance proof. 
  • Age of the Car vs. How Many Miles: A car with over 40,000 miles that’s just a year old can be in worse condition than a 5-year old car with 60,000 miles, because it’s been extensively driven in a short period of time. 
  • Vehicle Manufacture Year: Over the past decade, car engineering has significantly improved, which means that there are now more recent used cars that will last over 100,000 miles and even over 200,000 miles.
