Why is having lots of miles on a car bad, and what is the point of miles?
In: Engineering
Everything wears out with enough use. The number of miles a car has been driven is one measure of how much it’s been used. The age of the car, the way it was driven, and the type of maintenance it had also contribute to it’s condition but are harder to accurately track. Things like tires and brakes we expect to wear out and need replacing but all the important parts of the engine and transmission are inside, where you can’t see them. Even with good maintenance and careful driving, you can expect to have more problems with a car that has been driven 150,000 miles compared to one that has only been driven 70,000 miles.
