i have been getting insurance quotes for my frontera .... & one thing they all ask is " what is your annual mileage "
Well i have alway said 11,000 to 12,000 miles a year ....

Well i have had my current fronty 8 months & have done 10,760 miles in her in that time ..... thats 1,345 miles a month ...

so in a year that works out that i could do 16,140 miles :shock: :o thats 4,140 more miles a year than my insurance company think i do :oops: :shock: :roll:

That is based on my truck being our only vehicle ...
So was just wondering how many miles a year others do in there trucks & if that is based on there truck being there only car / vehicle ???

When I was commuting in an aging GTi, I was insured for up to 8,000 miles (that year I actually did 7,500) - I had the use of a Van, or a lift, for weekend stuff

With all the marshalling events I've done over the last couple of years, my annual mileage has jumped up to about 15,000 including the commute.

I currently commute 52 miles a day, 260 a week, that's 12,220 per work year (47 weeks) - good job I've got that second car as a run-a-round.
