Car life
With the development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cars have gradually changed from a luxury commodity to a means of transportation for many families. However, the service life of a car is limited, and in general, beyond a certain service life, its performance and safety performance will be reduced. If a car is 13 years old but has only 100,000 km of travel, can it still drive? Experts will answer your questions.
Factors influencing the life of the vehicle.
The lifespan of a car is affected by various factors, such as build quality, usage status, maintenance status, and repair history, among others. Generally speaking, the quality of new cars is relatively good, but over time, problems such as mechanical wear, aging of electronic systems, and corrosion of the body will occur.
The relationship between the age of the vehicle and the mileage.
The age and mileage of the car are the two main indicators to evaluate the life of the car. In general, the longer the service life of the car, the more mileage it drives, but the age of the car is not necessarily related to the mileage. Some people may drive a lot, but their cars are older; Some people who own a car don't drive as much, but their cars are driven for a shorter period of time. Therefore, to determine whether a car can run normally, it should be carried out from two aspects: the age and mileage of the car.
Advice from professionals.
For a car that has been in use for 13 years and has a mileage of only 100,000 km, experts recommend that the owner do a thorough inspection. In particular, the following should be reviewed:
1.Machine parts: Check the main machine parts, such as engine, brake, chassis, etc., working condition, whether there is serious wear and damage.
2.Power system: Check the operation of various electrical systems, such as batteries, generators, lamps, etc., and whether there are safety problems.
3.Body condition: Check the exterior of the body, paint, glass, etc., for rust or damage.
4.Repair & Maintenance Records: Access the repair and maintenance records of the vehicle, and assess the operation and maintenance of the vehicle.
If the car is in good condition after full inspection and evaluation, and there are no obvious safety problems or something wrong, then it can drive normally. However, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the car, car owners should pay attention to the following:
1.Regular maintenance: Regular maintenance according to the manufacturer's recommendations, such as oil, air filter, etc.
2.Inspection of major parts: Routine inspection of important parts such as brake system and tires to ensure that they are running well.
3.Timely maintenance: In case of failure, parts should be repaired or replaced immediately.
4.Drive carefully: Be careful when driving and always check the operation of safety features such as brakes and turn signals.
All in all, a car that is more than 13 years old and has a mileage of only 100,000 km should be thoroughly tested and evaluated, and if the car is in good condition, it can continue to drive, but it should be repaired. At the same time, please ensure the safety of yourself and others during the driving process.
