Typical mileage
Recorded mileage at the MOT. A car well above the range for its age has done more work than most; one far below is worth a closer look at its MOT history.
| Age | Low | Typical | High | All cars, typical |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 27,500 | 43,300 miles | 64,800 | 30,900 |
| 6-8 years | 52,700 | 77,300 miles | 105,400 | 51,800 |
| 9-11 years | 67,500 | 95,300 miles | 129,400 | 73,500 |
| 12-14 years | 89,800 | 125,000 miles | 166,500 | 91,400 |
| 15-17 years | 102,500 | 136,000 miles | 175,100 | 101,600 |
| 18-20 years | 103,400 | 135,500 miles | 171,900 | 106,700 |
