Working out your annual mileage

Updated on: 9 January 2024

How many miles do you drive per year?

Don’t worry about getting a calculator – we’ve made it quick and easy to work out your annual mileage.

Using the annual mileage conversion table below, just track the miles you cover on a typical day or week, then check the approximate annual figure.

The table’s not the only way to work out your annual mileage. 

You can always use the mileage recorded on your car between MOTs as a guide. 

When buying or renewing your insurance, always try to be accurate when estimating your yearly mileage. Underestimating your annual mileage could invalidate your policy.

Please note, if you drive more than 50,000 miles per year, then you should contact us.
