Connor Campbell says: “The easiest way to estimate your annual mileage is to look at the figure recorded on your most recent MOT, and take away the mileage recorded on the MOT before that. Of course, your personal circumstances may have changed in that time. For example, you may have moved, or got a new job. So always make sure to factor in such changes into your estimates.
If you’re new to driving, or don’t have two MOTs to hand, you can estimate your annual mileage manually. A good way to do this is to calculate how far you drive in an average week, multiply that by 52, and add a little extra to cover those times you drive outside your standard routes. Make sure to consider your commute, your shopping habits, any regular commitments, and people you frequently visit.”
