Is 80,000 miles (129,000 kilometres) a lot on a 2009 car?

Hi Samantha,

Average mileage for an Irish car is about 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometres approx.) so this is definitely above average, but it isn't necessarily something to worry about depending on the car. A diesel car tends to be used more and high mileage suggests a lot of low-stress motorway use - unless it's a tax of course!

Hope that helps.
