53,000 km reading on a 13 year old van is this possible?

[captured101]

Hi peeps,

im buying a 1997 mazda van with a odometer reading of 53,000 km only. Is this possible? or this has been tampered? the vehicle doesnt look immaculate neither the engine... although presentable, not really wasted... 2nd owner na iyong bibilhan ko... so bale 3rd owner na ako.... please help! thanks

With your descriptions, no.

[lui]

kung ganyan po yung km reading dapat close to bnew pa ang condition nya sir

[basti08]

have you asked the seller bakit mababa ang mileage?

possible answers could be:

-tampered
-as we know, malakas sa gasolina ang Mazda Powervan so talagang di sya ginagamit.

at 53000kms, dapat di pa nagpapalit ng timing belts yan and other belts, dapat wala pa (in most instances) kalampag, sariwang sariwa pa ang interior. Not sure bout the tires pero at least dapat kakapalit pa lang nyan.

Well it depends.

We still have a 13 yrds old car that has 44,2xx kms only since new.

[renzo_d10]

My 13 yr. old sedan only has 64,xxx since bought last 96.

unless those previous owners have several other cars than that.

my 10 year old 323 read 48+++km, so di naman siguro tampered ang Odometer nya.

[captured101]

... thanks guys... but i doubt it though... swerte lang siguro ... ill check back on it... and tignan talaga or tanungin din ang 2nd owner...

wow! galing nyo po magalaga!

[raine]

magaling magalaga? dahil ba mababa ang odo reading maganda na ang kundisyo ng sasakyan mo, di naman yata, kung mataas na ang odo reading tapos parang bago parin manakbo at walang sakit ng ulo ang sasakyan mo yun ang magaling magalaga

[Gerbo]

This is only possible if di masyado ginagamit ang auto. Maalaga? Iba usapan yan.

[jom's]

mga bro tsikoters usually ba mga ilan na km reading na yung average ng 13 year old car?

[basti08]

10-15tkms a year ang basis ko. normal usage. that's for me.

[captured101]

yup, i think on an average 13,000k - 15,000k a year... thanks for the tip guys... ill look again at the van... and hopefully show pics as well... its better to get another opinion, than be sorry in the end...

Possible yan. Meron nga kaming 03 Honda City 1.3 IDSI, 24k palang ang mileage ndi yan dinaya kasi digital na. Reason: Bihira talga gamitin dahil maraming kotse.

[ronw123w124]

Pwede mangyari pero bihirang bihira, yung 02 CRV ng misis ko 22,000+ km pa lang ang natakbo, minsan kasi 2 weeks di nagagamit. Yung old school w123 body na Benz ko 119,000km pa lang natakbo pero 82 model yun. Pati yung Grand Starex namin na nabili Feb 09, 6,100+ km pa lang ang natakbo, we only use it during Sundays when we go to Church saka pang long distance trips.

[nightingale]

possible yang low milage. toyota corolla namin, ten years old na, 22,000 km pa lang ang odometer reading. hindi masyado ginagamit kasi.

[PhazotroN]

It's possible kc meron kami 2001 honda city 1.5vtec 27,000+ kms pa lang.
On the one hand, posible ring dinaya kung walang service booklet. Check mo rin 1st owner baka meron ka mkuhang info.

Take note though that low mileage does not always equal to good condition.

I've test driven some high mileage but highway driven and regularly maintained cars against similar units with a low mileage and only driven in the city. The vehicles that felt and looked better overall were usually the ones that were used often yet maintained properly and those driven by the actual owners.
