How Many Miles Is Good for a Used Car?
Typically, you want a car that has driven no more than 15,000 miles per year on average. Regardless of a car's age, mileage that equates to this national annual average suggests the vehicle you're considering was not abused or driven excessively by past owners. It's peace of mind when you can buy a car with average or low miles for its age, and we'll help you find just that at our Ford dealer in Hope.

Understanding Used Car Mileage: FAQs
01
What's the best mileage for a used car?
For many drivers, the best used cars have between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. These vehicles often have plenty of life left and may still be covered by parts of their original warranty, yet have depreciated enough in value so that they're thousands of dollars cheaper than their new counterparts.
02
Why does mileage matter?
Mileage is one of the first things shoppers check when looking at used cars. Generally, lower mileage means less wear and tear, but a well-maintained higher-mileage vehicle can be an excellent choice, too. At Hope Auto Company Ford, our team helps you balance mileage considerations with vehicle age, service history and ownership records to find a used Ford for sale in Hope that will fit your needs.
03
Can high-mileage cars be reliable?
Cars above 100,000 miles can still be dependable if they've been maintained properly. Our staff can show you models across all mileage ranges -- including the lowest-mileage options available in our affordable used car inventory -- and explain expected longevity and performance. We'll also help you take a used-car test-drive so you can experience the high quality of all the cars we sell firsthand -- regardless of their odometer reading.
04
Do Certified Pre-Owned Ford models have low mileage?
They almost always have low or average miles for their age. After all, our Certified Pre-Owned Ford inventory is home to the best examples of any given Ford model, as these cars must first pass an extensive inspection before being offered for sale.
05
Do CPO Ford models come with a warranty?
Yes. As a sign of how good a condition these CPO Ford trucks and SUVs are, they come with unique benefits including additional warranty coverage that ordinary used cars don't have. No matter their mileage, CPO Ford models are a smart choice.
06
What's more important, used car maintenance or mileage?
Both matter, so don't focus solely on the odometer. A car with higher mileage that's been regularly serviced often has more to offer than a low-mileage vehicle with gaps in its maintenance record. We can explain this in more detail as you compare our used cars in Hope. Ford fans can shop confidently on our local used car lot, so stop in now and learn more.
