How many kilometers can a car travel in a year?

Private cars typically travel about 20,000 kilometers per year. The specific mileage depends on individual usage. During the use of the car, it is important to focus on maintenance to extend its lifespan. Car maintenance content: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. The purpose is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Car maintenance mileage considerations: The maintenance cycles of different car models and brands vary greatly, due to differences in the specific technical conditions of different vehicles. Different brands of vehicles are equipped with engines of different designs. Some engines have better materials and higher precision, resulting in relatively less wear, while others have higher requirements for oil, or even special requirements. Therefore, most brand cars require corresponding original factory oil for lubrication.
I'm the type who drives to the city for work every day, covering around 15,000 kilometers a year. During peak hours with heavy traffic, the mileage increases even more, and with weekend outings or visiting relatives, it can reach up to 20,000 kilometers. Driving more means higher fuel and maintenance costs—for example, the engine oil needs to be changed every 5,000 kilometers, or the engine could develop issues. Occasionally, I take long trips to the coast, covering a few hundred kilometers one way, but overall, city driving stays within this range. Over time, I've noticed that suburban areas with good road conditions add fewer miles, while congested urban roads consume more fuel and accumulate mileage faster.
