The poll does not go up high enough.

24,500 miles in the 9 months since April 2018 - admittedly including 2 trips from the UK to Italy so, like @screenman the poll doesn't go high enough. Does make me wonder how I found the time to ride on 186 days in 2018 though!

My March 2018 car has now done 7850 miles but this included a road trip to Italy.
My annual mileage is usually under 7k.

 

[Beebo]

We have 2 cars, one does around 10k, the other does about 5k

Mainly local miles ferrying the kids about. neither of us commute by car.

August 2012 car just gone over 24000 between the two of us.

A far cry from when I used to drive 60000+ a year to lord knows how many business meetings across the UK.

Between my last 2 mots car had done 4500 miles which included a 1000 mile trip to Loch Ness to do a sixty mile bike ride and around 800 miles going to Cornwall on Holiday . Bike had covered just under 9000 so not quite double the car

Ive had my van 26 months from new ,its done 16k
Though my old van i had 11 years from new,sold with 51k on it.

Once done 42k in a year and half .uses to do about 420 miles a week just to work and back. Now I don’t have a car just my partner. I use it very little maybe once a month if that or I have to take her to work or something.

So I would say about 200 a year.

Good lord, I hope they're paying you well - you probably spend as much time commuting as Mrs D does at work!

Apart from anything else, even the best car seats are othapaedically very poor. A lot of people who spend their careers behind the wheel, taxi drivers, traffic cops, truckers etc can suffer some unpleasant musculo skeletal problems in later life. 84 miles a day simply commuting cant be far off as harmful.

My car around 7,000 miles a year, the overwhelming majority of which is collecting and returning child 2 to college at weekends. Mrs B's around 8,000 a year, around half of which is family related as hers is more comfortable than mine, with the rest on her social life.

I went from 40k down to twenty and now about seven or eight. I still enjoy driving.
