How many kilometers is normal to drive in a year?
2 Answers
It is normal for a car to run 20,000 kilometers in a year. Definition of mileage: The car's mileage starts counting from zero when it leaves the factory, and there are at least two mileage readings. One is the total mileage, which is the total distance traveled from the factory to the present. It will always increase regardless of the environment and will not decrease. The other is the trip mileage, which can be reset midway. Many car owners use the trip mileage to calculate how far a full tank of fuel can take them. Precautions for driving: Facing the complex road traffic conditions composed of people, vehicles, roads, and the environment, the uncertainty and variability of these factors determine the randomness and unpredictability of traffic accidents. Therefore, drivers need to have a sharp and calm mind, as well as proficient driving skills, to ensure safe driving.
I drive 20 kilometers one way to commute every day, plus taking my kids to the suburbs on weekends, which adds up to about 20,000 kilometers a year. Most of my colleagues fall within the 15,000-20,000 kilometer range. However, during my last maintenance, I met a ride-hailing driver who had already driven 50,000 kilometers in just three months, with the rear seats' leather worn shiny. Honestly, there's no standard—it all depends on your lifestyle radius. My best friend lives near her workplace, and her car gathers dust, barely reaching 5,000 kilometers a year. Just remember to check your tires every 10,000 kilometers, unlike my neighbor who didn't notice until the treads were completely worn out.
