Morn'n all,
I'm sure that this might have been done...but I can't find a thread after searching...so.....here goes ...anyhoo :smile:

I've been reading posts as of late and noticing milegae posts and cyfering months of ownership vs. mileage... and wondering what's the average (if that's a plausible request) of mileage per year ( or per month if that 's your position... currently.)

I've just about completed 23 months of ownwership/driving (July 5th will be exactly (2) years) and currently have..... 40,100 miles.

A simple calculation shows I average....
~1744 miles per month
or
~60 miles per day.

Everyone I share this with tells me I have "ALOT" of miles on my MCS.
I understand that average is a relative term...but I'm wondering (as I do :smile: )....what is the average mileage for our members here on NAM :smile:??????

Please chime in and ..... let's see where we are at ...as a group


Peace,
D

 

Well, I hate seeing the miles rack up so fast, but they do!!!!! I will be at 9 months of ownership this coming Sunday and I am at 26,400 miles. That will come out to 35,200 miles for the year if I keep up the same average (approx 3,000/month and 100/day). That is what I have been averaging for the past six years. I sold my 5 year old Mustang (bought new) with 156,000 miles on it.

One big different between the MINI and the Mustang though.....I look forward to driving EVERY day!!!!!!!

D -

When I was working as a consultant, I was driving about 20,000 miles a year; most of my clients were within about a 50 mile radius. Last year, I changed my career to teaching and work about 3.5 miles from my home. Current miles per year: 11,600.

Our island is only 40 miles wide. It would be hard for me to drive an average of 60 miles a day unless I was a traveling salesman.

I have three cars for my family so that cuts mileage more.

My MCS got about 10,500 miles in a year. That's 202 miles per week or 29 miles per day average.

 

Mmmmmm... 2,190 per month, that's 73 miles
per day!... I'm sure I can find some way to drive
my MINI more often... must... try... HARDER!

Godspeed.

 

Hey D,

I just may be one who drives the least, as in 7 months I have only put 3300 miles on my MINI, so that's about 6k per year. I live within the beltway of Wash DC, with terrible traffic, so I just don't have the incentive to get out more. My commute is 11 miles each way. One Friday nite at around 7:00 , I drove to McDonalds, only about 6 blocks (1/2 mile or more) and the driving part of the trip took 25 minutes (round trip), so I don't even like to get out. Also, we have our groceries delivered by the market (Giant is the grocery store and Peapod is the name of their on-line delivery service). When I lived in San Diego I put 11-12k per year on my cars, which was not a lot either.

 

101/2 months 33450 km.or
101/2 months 21000 ish miles
500 miles a month
now I only commute 10 or so months a year,so when commuting more like
600+ miles a week

 

MINI
year 1: 29000 miles
year 2: 18000 miles

Previous two cars averaged 25,000 miles / year

 

10 days so far, and we're at 680 miles!

 

The past 16 months of MINI ownership has been awesome!

'03 Cooper had 11,500 miles in 8 months when I traded it in for the MCS.

'04 MCS has 9500 miles in 8 months.

 

Today is exactly two years since I picked up my MCS

32,737 miles mostly uneventful 4 dealer visits TOTAL in two years!

1 new windshield coolant tank wiring harness recall

Did an 8,000 mile cross crountry trip last summer

Discounting that I put on about 1,000 miles a month

Since work is about 2 miles from home that is mostly pleasure driving

 

His, 7185 miles, 20 months ownership, ~359.25miles/month = ~11.9miles/day

Hers, 4564miles, 20 months ownership, ~228.2miles/month = ~7.6miles/day

Then again these are our "winter excluded" cars and here in WI that takes 4-5 months out of the year. :smile:

We had better get out motoring

For the last 6 years or so I tend to average about 23,000 - 25,000 miles per year on each of our two vehicles. I do a lot of traveling to see family/friends. Work is 25.1 miles each way. The funny thing is that I enjoy driving this much, even when it's in my Honda Civic :smile:

 

Man I don't know what it is but ever since I got the MINI I've never had so many miles on a car! In the first year I got about 16k, that's a lot I think! And now 3 months past the 1st year already 20k, so again, it should be 32k in just 2 years at this rate. Dang!
