What is considered low mileage?
I’m in the market for a new car. I want something with low miles, but it seems that every seller or dealer advertises low mileage. What is actually considered low mileage?
Eric Schad · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Dealers everywhere use the phrase low mileage as a marketing and advertising gimmick. While there’s no specific definition, low mileage is generally considered 15,000 miles or less.
The good news about low-mileage cars is that they are typically in better mechanical condition and may last longer than cars with higher mileage, provided that you adhere to a
basic maintenance schedule
.Remember that even if a car has low mileage, you should still test drive the vehicle and take it to a mechanic you trust before you buy it. Doing so can save you tons of time and hassle, as well as reduce your chance of getting a lemon.
After you buy a new or new-to-you car, don’t forget about car insurance. Use the
