I don't get the obsession with low mileage? Like buying a bike then not riding it.
I do, we don’t use our car for short trip and keep it for long trip such as going to Sheffield which work out cheaper than the trains by only using it 2-3 times a year.
It also means less parts to wear out, pass MOT regularly, etc.
TL:DR, we have a car cause it’s cheaper than taking long distance trains.
Our car sits idle most of the time, it's a 53 plate with 100,000+ on the mileage mostly from previous careful owner who did lots of trips between London & Honiton.
