The civilianization of the automobile has greatly changed our current life, commuting to work, holiday travel, long holiday home, long-distance business trips and other activities, the car has brought us great convenience and change.
However, it is easy to buy a car and difficult to maintain a car, for most office workers, there is basically no shortage of money to buy a car, but it is indeed more laborious to maintain a car.
Fuel money, maintenance and repair of the cost of oil, parking fees, insurance premiums, etc., all kinds of seven seven eight eight costs add up to a year is not a lot, plus some people commute a short distance, resulting in some friends' cars are idle most of the time, all year round may be less than four or five thousand kilometers.
So the question is, how far does a car run is reasonable? How many kilometers does the car run in a year without losing money?
After the reform of automobile annual inspection, the first 6 years of new cars are exempted from online annual review, 6 to 10 years is the first trial every two years, 10 years to 15 years is a year of first trial, and more than 15 years of cars are two trials a year.
When the car can't pass the annual review, the car can't get on the road normally. But many of us now have a car cycle of about five or six years, far from exerting the maximum use value of the car.
Family cars
Some people buy cars to commute to work, and the distance traveled each time is not too long, and it may only be a few thousand kilometers a year, and most of the time it is idle.
And fuel costs, parking fees, maintenance costs are not a small amount. In fact, Brother Meow feels that if it is closer to the company, there is usually no other car demand, and it is actually more cost-effective and more convenient to take a taxi than to buy a car.
Operating vehicles
For operating vehicles, fifty thousand a year, one hundred thousand kilometers is a very normal thing. For them, the car gives them a means of making a living, an absolutely convenient mode of transportation.
So for them, the convenience of the car is the first important, and the accompanying maintenance fee is secondary. For them, the loss of the car will also be relatively large, but the benefits and convenience brought by comparison are relatively secondary.
summary
For family cars, in fact, very few people can drive a car to more than 15 years, according to big data, the general service life of a car is about 6-8 years, from the mileage is about 8 to 100,000 kilometers, so that at least 20,000 kilometers a year to reach the average.
But for the vast majority of people, cars are generally used when there is something wrong, and they are parked in the garage when they are not working. There is a saying in the car circle: cars are never broken, but bad.
Long-term idle is actually the biggest damage to the car, long-term idle will lead to oil deterioration, rubber aging, mechanical structure running-in is not enough and other issues, each use should do a comprehensive maintenance before each use to ensure the normal safety performance of the car.
Generally speaking, a new car has been depreciating since the moment it landed, and the car is also a consumer product, if it is not opened, it must be a proper blood loss, of course, if the local tycoon can be willful and arbitrary.
For our family car, the car is more appropriate to drive at least 10,000-20,000 kilometers a year, if you can't even drive 4,000 kilometers a year, Meow Brother suggests that when buying a car, you should still choose carefully.
