Each person is a world and the use you give to your car It depends largely on your needs. Someone who lives in a big city and has work just a few kilometres away is not the same as someone who has to travel a long way to get to the office or someone who uses a vehicle as their work tool. A recent study shows that kilometers per year that the average Spaniards travel And it must be said that it may be surprising. It is a high figure and well above what was seen years ago.
Apparently, the Spanish travel on average 29,017 kilometers to theyeara high number if we take into account the rural exodus that has occurred in the country and that most of the population is concentrated in large cities. Although this could lead one to think that their journeys would have been reduced, the truth is that we get a average of 79.5 kilometers per daya considerable journey that takes quite a bit of time. This data is pointed out by CarVerticalalso referring to the manipulation of car mileage.
They have carried out this study so that the user can determine if the used vehicle they are looking at may have such a problem. Low mileage cars are, logically, the most valued in the second-hand market, although there are also dishonest sellers. According to their tool, more than 3% of the cars checked in the first half of 2024 had some inconsistency in their mileage. If we do the math, a car with Five years old it should have about 145,000 kilometers following that average.
It seems like a fairly high figure and makes us wonder if industrial vehicles have not been taken into account, since they would add up to 290,000 kilometres by the time they reach ten years of age. In any case, these are data from the study and also reflect the increase in journeys compared to the last decade. In 2014, another similar study was conducted which said that just over 15,000 kilometres were travelled annually in Spain. We are talking about practically half and a trend that could be worrying considering the growth of cities and public transport infrastructure.
