Dear NL,

What is the average mileage or kilometre for a fairly used cat per month or per annum?

Should mileage be an important consideration in buying a fairly used vehicle.

Please info needed urgently.

Mileage has to do more with mechanical parts of a car but the wear and tear can be reduced to the nearest minimum with a good maintenance culture.

Some mechanical parts work with mileage and the higher the mileage the need to change those parts.

I got a car from Canada at 500,000km and still using it in Nigeria but within 6months of landing in nigeria I had changed both rear shocks, alternator, kick starter fix, lower arm and several bushings, changed exhaust wire mesh too and exhaust hang bushing.

But engine and transmission still serving 9 years after severe hardship on Nigerian roads, I have added around 250,000km to what I met there. Still on factory engine and transmission

Waaaooo. So in 9 years you covered 260k km. That's average of 28km per annum. That's huge in my opinion.

Good to know that a high mileage doesn't necessarily mean a bad car

I used to do interstate travels very well then, around 350km every weekend minus my daily commute to work within city on week days. I did it for 3 years but I don't travel much now, I drive like once in a month
