“Cars with multiple owners and unnaturally low mileage are a concern. It is believed that the average annual mileage is 15-20 thousand km. Of course, a lot depends on who drives the car and how. There are owners who travel 80 thousand km per year, also [те, кто проезжает] “If it is less than 5 thousand, the mileage may be low if the vehicle has not been used for a long time or if its mileage was reduced before sale,” he said.
According to the expert, it is recommended that cars with unnaturally low mileage be examined before purchasing. If the car has been used a little, but at the same time has not been adequately maintained and maintained, this type of transportation will require investments. However, above-average runs can be quite acceptable from a technical standpoint.
Timashov added that there are a few simple points where you can check the actual mileage.
“Inspect the paint and windshield. Chip and sandblast marks must correspond to the mileage. Also inspect the steering wheel, pedal assembly, seat upholstery and check the condition of the chassis and engine (extraneous noise, smooth transmission shifting),” the expert advised.
