This is a good point. That will tell you if the car has been given regular oil changes, which is super, super important. It doesn't tell you how hard the car

It doesn't tell you how hard the car was driven. But if you're like me, and mostly in the market for a hybrid, it probably wasn't driven that hard.

Compare a few vehicles of the same model and it'll be easy to see which ones were driven harder. I also like to take a peek at the tire date codes, to make sure they corroborate with maintenance records: https://images.tirebuyer.com/visual-aids/pages/education/how-to-determine-the-age-of-your-tires/determine-age-of-tires-2.webp https://images.tirebuyer.com/visual-aids/pages/education/how... The last car I bought had two original tires on it at 60k miles, and the service history showed the other two were replaced due to nails in the tread. I am confident the vehicle was not driven hard based on this.
