Default average mileage per year

Afternoon all.
Just wondering what everyone's average mileage per year is?

I managed to rack up nearly 20,000 last year. This was mainly due to being based in Germany and driving back home for leave, and a **** up by the army which ment i had to drive to Brussels to pick up a type approval certificate from Subaru Europe.

My WRX PPP is a 2nd car for me so only gets a run in the odd evening or at weekends.

I'm insured for 6k a year which is about 120 miles a week. Whilst its a little restrictive it does mean that my '05 model with 40k miles stays low mileage!! It's also means that my contribution to many sheikhs wallets remains fairly reasonable lol

Using my wagon as a daily commute, 300 a week so I guess 12-13k a year, the £60 a week does make me wince a bit but I would pay £50 just to get by train.

Good to see lots of very low mileage subarus
These cars are going to last
20 years time they will be some great displays at the NBO
A real step back in time

I went mad last year and probably did in the region of 8k, but normally, less than 1.5k a year. The car has done less than 20k in the 7 years I've owned it
