The mileage of a vehicle is a key indicator of its value and condition. Because the mileage indicates how many kilometers the car has covered since it was manufactured and is therefore an important factor in the assessment of the vehicle. In the car leasing and financing sector, the mileage plays a decisive role in determining the total number of kilometers a vehicle is allowed to cover during the contract period. High mileage can increase the risk for the lessor, as it indicates that the vehicle has been used frequently and thus has a higher rate of wear and tear.<\/p>\n
Mileage is the number of miles a vehicle has traveled, or will travel in the future. It is usually expressed in kilometers per year and is an important factor in assessing the condition of a vehicle.<\/p>\n
The mileage of a car is an important factor to consider when making a purchase decision. It provides information about the condition of the vehicle and can be an indicator of the expected life of the car. High mileage can also be an indication of higher maintenance intensity, which is necessary to keep the vehicle in good condition.<\/p>\n
But, have you ever considered that mileage shouldn't be the only buying criterion? Sure, if you like a car and the mileage is not too high, that's great! But keep in mind that mileage only shows how far the car has been driven overall.<\/p>\n
The mileage of a car says nothing about whether the motor vehicle has been driven over longer distances or in city traffic. The driving profile has a strong influence on wear and tear. For example, the clutch is much more stressed on urban routes than on the highway. Even short trips are detrimental to the engine, which often runs cold. Therefore, mileage falls short as the sole criterion for evaluating a used car. Also pay attention to the interior, the condition and sound of the engine, the bodywork and the service booklet.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the mileage has as an important purchase criterion your justification, because one can say that with cars with higher mileage more frequently problems with wearing parts occur, in comparison to cars with lower mileage.<\/p>\n
When it comes to a decision between a younger car with higher mileage and an older car with lower mileage, DEKRA advises to go for the older car with less mileage. For this they have 15 million. Vehicles examined.<\/p>\n
The realization of the DEKRA: The mileage calls more expensive defects than the age of the vehicle. The risk that particularly cost-intensive defects, such as worn bearings, are due to the kilometers driven rather than the age of the vehicle. Defects typical of old vehicles, such as brittle seals, are less expensive to repair and are therefore usually not as serious.<\/p>\n
DEKRA thus comes to the clear conclusion that low mileage is more important than a low age when buying a used car.<\/p>\n
If you take out a car loan without Schufa, you should therefore place emphasis on a lower mileage, so as not to get an expensive repair shop bill in the near future.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, this finding, whether mileage or age is more important is controversial among auto experts. Because mileage often falls short as the sole criterion. It is also important how and where was driven: Were the kilometers on the long haul or short distance in the city? A service booklet provides information on the maintenance of the vehicle and an inspection of the interior, bodywork and engine allows conclusions to be drawn about the driving style and care of the car. Garage cars are also better protected from scratches and rust than cars outside.<\/p>\n
A mileage contract is a contract that specifies the mileage of a vehicle. The contract stipulates a certain number of kilometers per year that the vehicle may travel. In rarer cases, the contract stipulates a certain number of kilometers per month. To do this, the formulation mileage p.a, which means term per annum, i.e. term per year.<\/p>\n
When the mileage p.a. If the mileage falls below the minimum, the lessee often gets money back. If, on the other hand, the mileage is exceeded, the lessee must pay an additional fee for wear and tear on the vehicle for the excess kilometers driven.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The diesel engine's higher efficiency, lower engine speeds and larger displacement mean more power and longer service life. Thus, truck engines can reach over 1 million kilometers, passenger car diesel engines can reach a mileage of over 500.000 kilometers. Realistic mileages of diesel engines range from 250.000 km to 350.000 km<\/p>\n
Diesel engines have slightly more displacement than gasoline engines with the same power output. In addition, high torque is already available at low engine speeds in diesel engines. This implies lower engine speeds and thus low-wear operation. Due to the strong charging nowadays this effect is partly compensated again. Nevertheless, diesel engines run at lower speeds and thus protect the engine.<\/p>\n
Another effect that has a positive impact on the mileage of the diesel engine is that diesel vehicles are mostly long-distance cars. Finally, diesel cars only pay for themselves from around 15.000 km per year, and are therefore popular with commuters on longer freeway journeys. During long hauls, the engine runs at optimal operating temperature, in contrast to short hauls, which is why it is better lubricated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Diesel and gasoline engines have converged overall in terms of mileage. Because modern gasoline engines also run 200.000 km. While this averages slightly less time than a diesel engine runs, mileage is also heavily influenced by care maintenance and car brand.<\/p>\n
Since the mileage of diesel and gasoline engines have become more and more similar, when buying a used car, one should also look at factors such as the condition of the vehicle, costs of purchase and maintenance, insurance, fuel prices, consumption and taxes in order to make a decision on the type of drive system to use.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With electric cars, it's not the engine that's the limiting element, it's the battery. This is based on a service life of eight to ten years and approximately 1.000 charging cycles for electric cars. With an average range of 100 kilometers per charge, this then results in a mileage of approximately 100.000 kilometers. However, a modern lithium-ion battery can last up to 3.000 charging cycles endurance. With this battery technology, the new Tesla S can thus manage up to 200.000 km.<\/p>\n
At the end of the battery life in the electric car, the remaining capacity has decreased to about 70%. Although you don't have to worry about being stranded, the range and efficiency of the battery are noticeably reduced.<\/p>\n
The ADAC has summarized the ranges of electric cars in the following table:<\/p>\n

Because with good care, diesel engine mileages of over 300.000 km not rare. But electric cars are catching up. Because Toyota provides a warranty of 1 million km on the battery of the first all-electric Lexus 300e.<\/p>\n However, the warranty is limited to 10 years, so you would have to pay 100.000 km per year to reach the mileage within the warranty period. Specifically, Toyota guarantees that during the warranty period, the battery capacity will not drop below 70 percent. Prerequisite is that the customer complies with the maintenance intervals. There has never been so much warranty on the battery of an electric car. This leads to the conclusion that as battery technology advances, electric cars will soon replace diesel as the indestructible car.<\/p>\n How many km does a car run?<\/h2>\nHow many kilometers are a lot for a car depends on the car and its previous owner. Because sedans with diesel engines are typical vehicles for the long haul with little wear and tear. A mileage of 150.000 km is therefore not a problem for these cars. For small cars with gasoline engines are 150.000 km, on the other hand, should already be regarded as critical. Small cars are usually driven only short distances with a cold engine, which damages it much faster. In addition, there is the poorer workmanship of the cheaper small cars. If you value a durable small car, you should look at the best small cars at 1.000 Euro net or 1500 Euro net per month in the linked articles.<\/p>\n Is 100.000 km for a car much?<\/h3>\nNo, 100.000 kilometers are actually not a special mileage for a car. Both vehicles with gasoline and diesel engines achieve this mileage without any problems. Only some electric cars are not guaranteed to reach 100.000 km mileage already sunk to 70% of your remaining capacity. This includes the e-cars from: Kia, Citroen\/DS, the Fiat 500e, the Jaguar i-Pace, the Peugeot iOn, and the Smart. Even the expensive Porsche Taycan has at 100.00 km less than 80% guaranteed remaining capacity in the battery.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/p>\n Are 200.000 km for a car much?<\/h3>\nMost gasoline and diesel cars still crack 200.000 kilometer mark. However, small cars and heavily supercharged engines already show clear signs of wear here. Most e-cars also have a confidence rating of 200.000 km the 70 % capacity limit has already been undercut. Only the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the Lexus UX300e achieve more than 200.000 km with more than 70 % guaranteed residual capacity in the battery.<\/p>\n Can you buy a car with 300.000 km buy?<\/h3>\nAt car portals you can always find cars with more than 300.000 km. Reliable cars like the Mercedes E-Class or the Volvo V70 can already last that long. Buying a car with 300.000 km and more, however, is associated with a considerable risk, as one does not know the car's previous history. In addition, it can be found at 300.000 km and more, suddenly come to unexpected defects.<\/p>\n For cars with 300.000 km or more, the following points are important to minimize the risk somewhat<\/p>\n
