When shopping for a used car in Landover, the mileage is an important factor to consider. In general, the average driver puts about 12,000 miles on their vehicle per year. So a car with 60,000 miles is considered to have relatively low mileage for a 5-year-old vehicle, while 100,000 miles would be considered high mileage.
However, mileage alone doesn't tell the whole story. A car with higher mileage may still be a good choice if it was well-maintained and is a reliable make and model. Low mileage can also be concerning in much older vehicles, as a lack of use can lead to issues like dry rot in the tires and hoses. It's wise to consider other factors like overall condition, vehicle history, and whether that specific make tends to run well at higher mileage.
