When looking at used cars, you may be asking yourself how many miles is good on a used car that you want to buy. Allow us to break down a rough estimate of what you should be looking at. 

Good Mileage On Used Cars

Mileage varies between vehicles, but a decent guess to follow is that people drive an average of about 12,000 miles a year. Therefore, 120,000 miles would be a good mileage for a used car that's about 10 years old.

Determining good mileage for a used car will require some math. Seeing as the average driver covers about 12,000 miles a year, you’ll want the following on a reliable used vehicle:

  • About 60,000 miles on a 5-year-old car
  • About 84,000 miles on a 7-year-old car
  • About 108,000 miles on a 9-year-old car and so on

Some cars will have a little more or a little less depending on life situations and other circumstances. However, when looking for a used car, stick as close as possible to these numbers for a more reliable option.
