How much mileage is okay for a car?
“The car's age and type have a significant influence on what an acceptable mileage is. On average, 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers per year is typical. So, a 5-year-old car with around 75,000 to 100,000 kilometers is considered normal.”

“Divide the total mileage by the car's age in years to get the average annual mileage. If it falls within the typical range (15,000–20,000 km per year), it's classed as reasonable. Any larger mismatches might need looking into further.”

“While there's no strict cutoff, cars exceeding 200,000 kilometers are usually considered high mileage. A well-maintained high-mileage car can still be reliable, though, so it’s best to look at the vehicle's overall condition.”

“Giveaways could be unusual mileage records, excess wear on the pedals or steering wheel compared to the odometer reading, or perhaps discrepancies in how service records are timed. A vehicle history report goes a long way to help detect odometer fraud.”
