Hi guys, as the title says, I am trying to see how many miles / kms a typical completed car usually spends on the road per year.

Thanks!

I've done about 5000miles (8000km) in two years.

I did 1600 miles in mine from June to November 2006. I'm hoping to do more in 2007.

I did 5000 miles in the first year. The car was off the road for 1 month of that because of a poorly engine.

I've done about 2500 in 15 months, so about 2000 miles a year

I can easly do 1000 miles in one day for no reason at all

Have once managed 75,000 in just one year in my cars, I don't think about my fuel bills...

I did about 2k miles in the first year with a 1300 xflow and 4 speed box. Next year about 1.5k. Then about 2k last year with a 1600 same box. This includes fun nights on track and a few grass autotests.

Cheers

SVA / on road for june, and 2300 till nov 06.
Done a couple of trips out since then but only local.

I take it out if its dry, dont worry about if its cold... I'm used to driving a Land Rover! (complete with gaps round the doors and heater that couldnt warm anything!.

About 2500 miles / 4000 km since I SVA'd it in Oct 2004.

Fair-weather driver, me! Although I did drive home in torrential rain once, coming back from Paul G's (aka 907). For that I needed a snorkel.

Legal on 3/1/06, then 1500 miles to Oct 15, taken off road for mods (see elsewhere) - which were supposed to take two months, now nearly up to 3

Have set target at start of March to be back on road!
