A car's life isn't determined by miles driven.
Mileage is just one indicator of a vehicle condition. Theoretically, a vehicle that has covered more miles has more wear and tear, but a car with 60,000 miles on the odometer can easily be in worse shape than one with 120,000 miles.
How many miles on a used car is too much?
There's no absolute number of miles that is too many for a used car. But consider 200,000 as an upper limit, a threshold where even modern cars begin to succumb to the years of wear and tear.
At what mileage is a car useless?
Many cars will have no trouble passing 200,000 miles without any significant issues — while many others still adhere to the 100,000-mile cutoff.
