Generally, it's between 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. Vehicle inspection tips: Always perform safety checks before driving, especially for long trips. Regularly learn and master basic car maintenance knowledge. If you lack this ability, you can take your vehicle to a 4S shop or auto repair shop for safety inspections. Strictly prohibit drunk driving: National regulations stipulate: Driving under the influence of alcohol, taking state-controlled sedatives or inhibitory drugs, suffering from diseases that hinder safe driving, or being excessively fatigued that affects safe driving is prohibited. Stay focused while driving: Concentrate on driving, avoid chatting and laughing with others, and do not answer phone calls while driving.
As a daily commuter, my workplace is 30 kilometers away from home, making it a 60-kilometer round trip. With 5 working days a week, that adds up to 15,000 kilometers of commuting per year. Additionally, weekend shopping, gatherings, and occasional short trips add about 500 kilometers per month, totaling another 6,000 kilometers annually. In total, my annual mileage exceeds 21,000 kilometers. For the average person who mainly commutes without much additional activity, the mileage may range between 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers. Driving more frequently requires attention to oil change intervals to avoid excessive engine wear; moreover, highway conditions are more fuel-efficient, and regular maintenance can extend the vehicle's lifespan.
