Went in to the garage to fire beastie up an hour or so ago (first time in about four weeks) and the battery was a trifle low so I stuck the charger on for an hour... (she burst savagely into life afterwards)... Whilst sitting in the suicide seat I looked at the mileage, and it came as a bit of a shock how few miles I've done in recent months... in fact in over a year frown

She had 31.5k on the clock when we got married in December 2010... fast forward to May 2015 (MOT time) and I'd only put 3,200 miles on her in the previous year, after averaging pretty much 5k a year in the previous 3 years..

Then, May 2015 to May 2016 I notched up a staggering 1,847 miles frown

We're now at 52,332 miles, that's 20,842 miles in six years, an average of 3,474 p.a.....

As if that wasn't bad enough, from May 2016 to now (20 minutes ago in fact), near enough eight full months, I'm gobsmacked to find we've driven a total of...... 837 miles getmecoat

Anyone else found their average mileage has dropped over the last two or three years?

Sincerely yours, a very despondent Chilli and a much under used beastie

Sorry for the derail of your thread Chilli,
Feel free mate it's all good banter smile

So, did the Aldeburgh fish and chip run yesterday with the car club mob, weather was crap, roads were slippery, and back end stepped out a few times wobble (must get some new rears), but managed 133 miles of smiles regardless...

And beastie had a huge grin when I put her to bed... (although that might be my over active imagination)
