So, we all look at used cars and see "low mileage", but what you do take that to mean? Less than 8000 a year? 10? 12?

I'm interested to see what you guys think!

To me, anything less than 10k a year is low miles

Yeh i would say 9-10k a year is low. Though i do around 13k a year.

As far as I am concerned 12-15k per year would be normal... unless its me, The MINImax van did 23k this year... and my own car another 18k, and I have only had it since march!

6k or below to me is low

10k to 12k average

anything above is high.

Cars can do so much more miles these days as long as they are serviced. I wouldnt let a high mileage car put you off if its got good history.

I always took it as 12000 miles per annum as an average. Anything less is lower and anything more is higher

It's down to who's viewpoint. If you're trading a car in that's done an average of 12K per year the dealer would class it as high mileage. Then they would class that same car when sold as average.:frown:

We do about 15K a year, but that's spread across 3 cars.:D

I've always taken it to be 12K is average, and anything less than 10K is low, but I think the average is going up. I know that between our two cars I expect us to do about 25K this year.

Interested to see that I'm in the right ball park - I've been looking at used cars of late and different people seem to have different views on what low mileage actually means!

Agree with Fi on this too.
