What is Good Mileage for a Used Car?

What is considered high mileage for a used car depends on how long it took to rack up those miles. Generally, no more than 12,000 to 15,000 miles should be put on a car in a year’s time. So, a used car that is four years old should have no more than 48,000 to 60,000 miles on it. Otherwise, the engine may have had an excessive amount of wear and tear.

What is considered high mileage for a used car also depends on things like maintenance, climate, and road conditions all come into play. Consider these factors:

• Is there a maintenance record?
• Was the car driven in rough climates?
• Was the car driven mostly on the highway or in the city? Stop and go traffic in Union City can be brutal on a vehicle.
• Has the car been in accidents?
