How many miles per year in your van

[2cv]

We do about 7000 miles each year. Just wondered if this is about average on here.

 

[Campervanannie]

I average 13,000 per year I have owned this van 16 months and already done well over 16,000 miles.

We had 10000 on last years insurance and were 26 miles shy of it, so increased it to 12000 this year

 

[jeffmossy]

Roughly about 10000 a year , we have done 7200 up to now this year

 

[nabsim]

We didn’t get started til Easter and done 4000 so far

 

[The laird]

I get 33mpg, but it's all long trips. The difference must be your short trips to the shops.

Mine's done about 32,000 in the last 7 years but I estimate nearly half of that has been in the past 2 and a half years. I've not kept very good records... must try harder

To start with it in our present motorhome it was approx 5,000 miles per year now it`s approx 11,000 miles per year.

Bill you're a star, thank you

Ours is nearly 18 months old at 16000 but no second car although apart from weekly shop we don’t do loads of local mileage.
Think may need to get one this winter and think of putting van inside somewhere if we’re not going to get away til February, if at all this winter.

Ooops! Looks like I went over the 7,000 miles in 2016-17... shhhhh
In 2017-18 I did 6,970 miles, so still very close... that included the Orkney trip.
Since the end of March this year, I've already done 4,093 miles... over 2,000 of those on the 7-weeks in Europe this summer.
Which means I definitely underestimated the number of miles in the last two and a half years... it's actually 18,322!
What's even more shocking about that is that I only ran up 14,488 in the first 5 years!
I can feel a call to my insurance company coming on! Either that or I need to move up country a bit

I did about 20,000 a year in the Transit. This one has done 10,000 in ten months.

Year 1 full time was over 25,000 but we did include Nordkap and Sicily. We’ve slowed up a lot and the last two years are more like 16,000 pa!!

Who owns these really low mileage vans you see advertised for sale?

People like my father-in-law

He`s owned a 56 plate Autotrail Cheyenne from new and it`s still only done 21,250 miles

In the last 2 years it`s done less than 100 miles

We average 6-8k according to my mot certs

around 15000 in the camper calmed down a lot since we first got it but still about 35000 in the car taking the wife to work etc.
