- creeble 6y agoYour reference does not actually state anything about the average life of cars, just that reporting mileage is required for cars up to 20 years old. 20 x 13500 is 270k. I don't think that's average. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm
- sn_master 6y agoSorry about that. This is a more relevant link about the odometer ruling change with the actual statistics: https://dmvnv.com/news/20023-new-odometer-rules.htm https://dmvnv.com/news/20023-new-odometer-rules.htm "The average age of a vehicle in the U.S. is now almost 12 years, up from 7.6 years when the odometer rules were last changed in 1988."
