What is the average amount of miles put on a car yearly?

Question

I had someone tell me that it was 15,000 and another tell me it was 20,000. Help?!

Answer 1

It really depends on how much traveling you do, if you vacation, how far away you work etc... my husband and I travel to the next county over about once a month, and have made one 200 mile trip and put right at 18,000 miles on the car this past year.

Answer 2

The average is a thousand miles a month, or 12,000 per year.  Of course your mileage may vary.

Answer 3

15000 if you are talking miles or 24000 k.  actually those figures you were told were inaccurate though it's most commonly placed at 20000k or 12000 miles which is 1000 miles per month most car warranties are 100000 k or 5 years whichever comes first.

Answer 4

i put close to 20000 miles a year on my vehicle

240 miles a week just to get to and from work

then theres going to things at the school that i have to go to for my kid

i do have a feeling that ill put less miles on this year because ive elimanated a lot of the extra driving i was doing due to the price of gas

Answer 5

Go with 15,000 because State Farm defines it as 12,500 which is commuting to school and/or work and light travelling. I think that is low but 15,000 is a good number. You won't be able to take into account every situation because who knows how far each person travels to work or school or how much they shop.
