my car is at garage for its MOT and looking at last years and years before I do around 4000 miles a year, not a lot compared to some.

When in UK I was doing about 17-18000, over here so far in just less than 1 yr I have done 8000k or about 5000 miles.
Should do more, company pay for car and fuel lol.

Well, when my motability car went back in Jan (I'd had it for 3 years) it had just over 5000miles on the clock LOL (they gave 5k a year allowance but it's gone up now). I think this will be more as I'm running back and forth to shops and to parents now, though.

I have had my car just under 4 months & have done almost 2000 miles. (that's a lot for me, cos it includes a trip of 670 miles to the South East :-) )

just checked what the difference between last year and the year before was
last year was 3746 and year before 3330 think that 400 miles etra is because I cant just walk down the shops anymore and have to go in car.
