Mileage and age both affect a vehicle in different ways. Discover what kind of pre-owned Mazda vehicle you should look for, then visit Sentry West Mazda and take one for a test drive today!

The Effect of Age

The age of a car will affect how modern its tech, safety, and performance features are. Older cars with a lower mileage on the odometer can continue to run for years with proper maintenance. However, they will lack the cutting-edge features of the newest models. While using an older infotainment system may not be a major issue, these models may lack the modern preventative safety features available on newer vehicles.

The Effect of Mileage

Mileage will influence the remaining lifespan of a vehicle, and a high-mileage vehicle may have large upcoming repairs or part replacements. A newer car with high mileage may require more service than an older car with low mileage, especially if the previous driver did not keep up with the service schedule. It also may not last as long.

Which Is More Important?

Mileage and age are both important in a vehicle, but mileage will have a much larger impact on how much life a vehicle has left. And, as always, make sure to consider all factors of a pre-owned Mazda model, including its service history, number of owners, and accident history.
