When it comes to the next pre-owned vehicle or the life of your current model, you might be wondering, “does mileage matter?” The truth is that mileage is important—but it’s not everything.
The mileage on your vehicle can indicate how hard it was driven and what parts need to be replaced, but vehicles with high mileage may still have a lot of life left, as long as they’re cared for properly. Our team at Heritage Mazda Towson is here to help, with tips for maintaining your high-mileage car.
Replace Parts Right Away
One of the best ways to save money and extend the life of your vehicle is to replace essential parts and systems as soon as you notice signs of wear or damage. A damaged part can scrape or grind against the surrounding parts and systems, causing premature wear and requiring more costly replacements.
By replacing parts right away, you reduce overall wear and help to keep your high-mileage car in good condition.
Use High-Quality Parts
You also want to make sure that any replacement parts are high-quality and designed specifically for your Mazda vehicle. This will help to ensure that your high-mileage Mazda vehicle continues to run as smoothly and safely as the day you first drove it home.
Schedule Regular Service
There’s just nothing better for a high-mileage vehicle than routine car service and care. A properly maintained vehicle with a high mileage can last just as long, or longer, than a poorly maintained new car with low mileage. Schedule essential inspections, replacements, and upgrades for your high-mileage Mazda vehicle, and keep it running for even more great rides.
