How many miles a year do you drive?

[kiwi pom]

Reading the many, what car/4wd/pickup threads on here I've noticed many of you seem to clock up a high annual mileage in your vehicles, which surprises me a bit. I realise that there's a lot of non farmers on here who may travel for work etc but I've always thought farmers would do fairly low miles, especially in the UK where few places are really remote.
Obviously I'm wrong (that happens a lot) so what would be your average annual mileage?
No prizes for the winner I'm afraid.

Do around 8-9000miles in the pickup

Dread to think how many in a tractor over all

 

[Spud]

About 15000 in the pickup, and maybe 2000 in my wifes car here

 

[Pingu]

Average mileage is 20000miles now spread across 2 vehicles 12-14000 purely on a work vehicle. I live where I work so no commuting just mileage involved with work and day to day running busy root farm which is pretty much ring fenced!

20-25k a year now.. and I work from home.

One point I was on 50k plus.

 

[Mouser]

6200 as a 5 year average here, used to be 1000 less but have the school run to do now. Blasted kids!

[AlbuttDan]

45-50k a year. Shouldn’t expect we’ll get much for this truck when we trade it in [emoji23]

 

[Run to the hills]

Do somewhere between 15-18k in my car, not sure how as i work at home most days, could do with a pub near enough to walk to maybe...

 

[Dog Bowl]

I’ve done 12k this year ‘pottering’ around the lanes checking cattle and the like in the pickup. I don’t farm in a ring fence and will have cattle up to 8 miles away that I’ll drive to every day to check.

 

[livestock 1]

Around 20k which feels a lot, reading this I’m not the only one thank the lord

 

[James]

My own car this past year did 6241 miles. Dad's car which does the bulk of the running about a lot more.

 

[Jackov Altraids]

My truck is pretty much only used for work, averaged 3.5k/year in last 3 years.

I'm actually amazed I do that much 'cos I never go anywhere!

The value of having a farm in a ring fence must be unbelievable!
