General Mileage Guidelines When Shopping Used Cars High-mileage cars and low-mileage cars are not necessarily polar opposites. In general, it's a good idea to assume the typical driver puts on about 12,000 miles per year, which can be a good guideline for determining the value of a prospective used car.

With proper maintenance habits, you can probably get nearly 200,000 miles or more on just about any car.

Generally, cars coming off of a lease are a good buy, because the cars must be fully maintained during the life of the lease, and the cost of the lease is based considerably on the number of miles to be driven. So if the mileage is reasonable or a little higher, it is still probably a good buy.

25 miles should be fine. Theoretically, on an older car, you can drive forever once the engine is running, you'll just be without any electrical amenities in the vehicle. Newer cars are much more reliant on the battery/charging system, and many won't even stay running with a dead battery.

What is considered high-mileage? Typically, putting 12,000 to 15,000 miles on your car per year is viewed as “average.” A car that is driven more than that is considered high-mileage. With proper maintenance, cars can have a life expectancy of about 200,000 miles.

Legally, you must be compensated for mileage when you're using your own car for deliveries. Most employers use the IRS business mileage standard rate as their guideline — it currently stipulates 58 cents per mile. Drivers should be making at least that amount per mile during working hours.

It includes the 50 top-selling cars from 2015, as according to Your Mechanic. Surprisingly, you can get around 50 to 100 miles on an 'empty' tank of petrol, the chart suggests. In reality, this will depend on driving conditions, the condition of the car and how you drive, so it's just an approximation.

You can get a very usable car in good shape and with a number of usable miles left for somewhere over $1,000. You can get a late model with low mileage for a few thousand. And you can spend many thousands for an historical old classic. There are even a few rare or famous cars that sell for millions.

It's long been a rule of thumb in the motoring trade that 'average mileage' equates to 10,000 to 12,000 per year. So do the sums in your head, and use this as a starting point for working out whether you think a car has been reasonably used.

As a rule of thumb – the lower the mileage, the better. For gas engines, look for a truck with under 100,000 miles. For diesel, under 200,000 would be just as good. You could go with higher mileage – just pay more attention to the truck's overall condition in that case.

An average annual mileage is about 10,000, so for a 3 year old car mileage between 25,000 and 35,000 would be reasonable. Anything over this could have been used for business and driven hard.
