What is More Important When Buying a Pre-Owned BMW Car: Mileage or Age?

At BMW of Wesley Chapel, we have a wide inventory of pre-owned BMW cars that you can trust. Still, many people wonder whether mileage or age is more important to consider when choosing a pre-owned vehicle. Here’s what each one can indicate about a car’s performance.

What Mileage Indicates

Mileage is a measurement of how many miles the car has been driven. Cars with high mileage may have experienced more significant wear and tear. Older cars typically carry a higher mileage, but this is not always the case. Some newer cars may have been used often and come with considerable damage, while some older cars may have been well cared for and used lightly.

On average, drivers put around 14,300 miles on their cars per year, and this number gives you an idea of what kind of mileage you can expect from a car based on its age.

What Age Indicates

If it has been responsibly maintained, a car that’s a few years old can be just as reliable as one of its newer counterparts. However, depending on its age, it may not include all of the safety and technology features you expect, and in some cases, the manufacturer may have stopped making replacement parts. If these are concerns for you, you should narrow your focus to pre-owned vehicles with more recent model years.
