How old is your car in Human Years

[debodun]

Divide the mileage by the year. For instance, my car has 146992 miles and is a 2002 model. 146992/2002 = 73.4

Oh I’m useless at maths

It pretty much depends on how well you've maintained it and whether or not you've abused it.

Rule # 12: Drive your car every day, for 15 years, very fast & long drives. The slower it will age. 160,000 miles soon.

2018 with 30,000 miles, so almost 15 years, but where did that calculation come from?

Just 38 - lots of life left in her yet. Hopefully enough to skip the move to electric and get me to hydrogen

77.6, and runs like new. Maintenance is the key.

Yep. I do most of the maintenance on mine -- oil changes, plug changes (that one's a killer on V6 transverse-mounted engines), brakes. Fairly straightforward stuff -- but I can't do tires (no machine).

I'd like to think that, but my '17 Audi A4 only had 36k miles on it when I traded it a couple of weeks ago. It was pristine and I maintained it properly but toward the end it was in the shop every 6 months. 2 thermostat/water pump replacements, loose turbo hose, replaced coolant reservoir, replaced reservoir hose. When I traded it, it was turning over very slowly before it started, and I had replaced the battery in 2021. Thankfully, when I drove it to the dealership to trade it, it turned over immediately.

My uncle owned a car dealership and he used to say "miles don't hurt a car, age does". In my case, that was true.

 

[dilettante]

Yeah. Tires rot, belts rot, stuff corrodes and tubing silts up.

My 2008 Ford F150 is 102.5 human years old...
Change the oil every 4970 km and do other maintenance... as needed...
