Age and mileage both offer important considerations that help you determine the health and viability of any used vehicle. Instead of emphasizing which factor offers more importance, we encourage you to consider both elements and their connection. You can infer the durability of a vehicle based on both aspects together. High mileage and advanced age both serve as indicators for when you need to schedule maintenance and repairs. Finding a middle ground will help you make an informed choice.
Vehicle history reports represent valuable tools in determining the longevity of your prospective purchase. If you had to choose one factor to put more emphasis on, we'd recommend looking at the odometer. Some drivers trade in their vehicles before putting many miles on the odometer, and we regularly carry used cars with plenty of life left at our dealership.
