Before retirement I had company cars or around 30 to 35 years from Ford, Vauxkhall, Citoen, Rover, Honda, Saab, Audi, Jaguar and others. For many years They all covered in excess of 50,000 miles per year, every year and were changed at three year intervals until I changed our fleets to lease cars. Lease car companies do not like that sort of mileage and so they started changing mine at 12 month intervals.
At 150,000 miles every one of these cars, except one, ran perfectly, had no repeating faults and had immaculate paintwork. Only the Saab had a problem in the early days with the particulate filter getting clogged.
Surprisingly, perhaps, one of the best of this bunch was a 2002 Rover 75 SE, which actually did over 125,000 miles in two years. All praise to modern cars.
My current annual mileage in retirement? About 6,000 miles per year.
Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.
