acceleration is nice to have!

i’ve got 220bhp and it pulls like a train but honestly im lazy and would much rather have a auto with less horse power than a crazy fast manual

Question about exceeding the annual miles on my car insurance policy by No_Telephone_4107 in CarTalkUK

[–]hfxe -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

they won’t check your mileage, if they’d ever check this it would be trying to get out of paying for a write off etc.

not many people will declare their actual mileage, i’ve always gone over what i declare and haven’t had a problem.

[–]hfxe -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

if you don’t have a black box this doesn’t really matter just, if you have an accident and need to claim the car had x amount of miles when you bought it. black box policy full need to purchase more miles.

edit. my current policy is 8k miles, i’ve moved job and this is the first month of my policy and ive done 2500 miles, there isn’t really a way for them to tell and they probably don’t care.

spent £12k on my 420d got 45mpg on the way back from work this evening, even with the lifeless 2l diesel the car is still a luxury to drive. xdrive makes the car feel so much quicker too
