I noticed lately that Bitoggers are mentioning their cars have survived for 200,000, 300,000, even 500,000 miles almost as if it's routine. Certainly Bitgoers cars last longer than the general public but I'm thinking it is more rare than some of us think.
I invite anyone interested in mining data to come forth, but this is what I found. The USA ( for which good data exists, has 269 million car registrations.) Apparently the number of vehicles with over 200,000 miles is about 2%. The number of cars with over 300,000 miles is 0.1%. Not sure how they know the mileage.
Anyone want to offer up some better data?
