Is 170,000 too much for a 2008 car?
For 2008 car with mileage of 170000 is it good condition
Our answer:
Hi Okoro,
The average annual mileage for a diesel car in Ireland is 24,000km, and it's 17,000km for a petrol car. So, the average 2008 diesel car would have covered 336,000km, while the petrol equivalent would be 238,000km.
With those figures in mind, 170,000km doesn't sound like much at all. However, you should buy more on condition and service history than on mileage.
