What Is Considered Good Mileage for Used Cars?

There's no universal mileage that's recommended when buying a used car. That's because components like model year play a major role in determining the ideal mileage.

On average, drivers add about 10,000 to 12,000 miles to their odometer each year. So, if you're buying a vehicle that's two years old, you'd look for a vehicle that ideally has no more than 24,000 miles on the odometer.

When researching used cars, multiply the vehicle's age by 12,000. Then, compare this number to the vehicle's milage to help provide clarity when determining if it has good car mileage or not.

Can I Buy a Used Car With High Mileage?

Absolutely! Some use 100,000 miles as the threshold for maximum mileage on a used car, but mileage only provides a small piece of information. It's possible that a vehicle that has 100,000 miles clocked on the odometer is in just as good condition as a vehicle with 30,000 miles.

Other Factors to Consider Beyond Mileage When Buying a Used Car

As mentioned, mileage only shares a small piece of information about a vehicle. Before buying a pre-owned model, you'll want to explore other factors such as:

• Where the vehicle was driven: Learning more about the types of roads the vehicle was most often driven on is important. Stop-and-go highway driving and driving on dusty roads could lead to premature aging of the vehicle's mechanical parts.
• What the vehicle was used for: Taking time to learn how the used car was driven is another factor you should consider when shopping pre-owned. Personal vs. delivery or other commercial vehicles handle differently.
• When the vehicle was serviced: Reviewing the vehicle's history report is a fast and easy way to learn about when the vehicle was serviced over its lifetime. This can help provide a comprehensive overview of the vehicle and how it will likely handle.

Many of our pre-owned models come complimentary with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™. This way, you can review the complete history of the various vehicles you're interested in purchasing at once.
