Is 20,000 km a lot for a car?
A good rule of thumb many mechanics use is that a car should average around 20,000 kilometers per year. This is considered normal usage and suggests the vehicle hasn’t been overdriven. So, if you’re looking at a 5-year-old car, you’d expect it to have around 100,000 kilometers on the odometer. A reasonable mileage is around 20,000 km per year. For example, a 5-year-old car with 80,000–100,000 km is within the expected range.
