Most people who drive their car a lot put between 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year on their cars and by the time the car is 7 years old the car would have between 84,000 to 105,000 miles.

When a car gets to 100,000 miles it's just getting broken in usually and can usually go another 100,000 miles or even longer depending on how good you take care of the vehicle.

If the car has more than 200,000 miles then I would say that would be pretty high mileage but if it's 250,000 miles or more then it really is high mileage and I wouldn't pay much for a car that had over 250,000 miles because it may not last too long.

It would be okay for driving short distances to work and back or to go grocery shopping but I would be very cautious about taking it on a long road trip.

But if you maintain the car properly then it can be a reliable car even then.

Honda cars are very reliable cars and I've seen some with 500,000 miles on them that are good running cars.
