    Mileage definition

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 1976
    YOU recently answered a reader's question about an XB Falcon, which had 252,000km on the clock, which you said had high mileage. As that would average out at about 8600km per year, I would consider that to be a low mileage vehicle, yet you say it has a lot of km. What then is your definition of a low mileage car? Let's face it, the car is 29 years old, not nine years old, there is a difference.

    THERE was a time when a car was thought to be worn out and worthless when it had done 100,000 miles or 160,000km, but technology has come a long way since those days and cars last much longer than they once did. While the average annual mileage on this car is low, it has still accumulated more than 250,000km, and that in my mind is high mileage. Cars don't wear out with time, its a function of kilometres covered, and this particular car has covered plenty of kilometres. It might still be a good car in good condition, but it's still well on its way to the end of the road. I would consider 100,000km or so to be low mileage on this car.
