When choosing a used car, many people think that "the lower the mileage, the safer it is."
This time, using two 2016 Mercedes-Benz C220d models as examples, we'll consider which one to choose:
A: Approximately 30,000 km / 1.8 million yen, B: Approximately 130,000 km / 1 million yen
At first glance, the low-mileage car (30,000 km) seems safer, but you can't judge a used car solely on mileage.
Was it mainly driven short distances, or was it driven long distances?
What kind of maintenance did it receive?
How did it get past the 50,000 km and 100,000 km service milestones?
When you look at the conditions, there are cases where a mechanic deliberately chooses a high-mileage car (130,000 km).
What's important when choosing a used car is not just "how many kilometers it has driven," but "how it has driven those kilometers."
Finally, we'll talk about the hints that Ohbayashi can glean from the tires when inspecting a used car.

If you're planning to buy a used car, or if you're undecided between a low-mileage and a high-mileage vehicle, please use this as a reference.
