average km per year for a car in australia

In Australia, the average car clocks about 12,000–15,000 km per year, with commuter hatches hovering near the lower end and regional utes edging higher.

Fleet vehicles can push 15,000–25,000 km/yr, while city runabouts often sit under 10,000 km/yr—yes, the pandemic years were a curveball.

As a quick used-car sniff test: roughly 10–12k km/yr is “normal,” well under that is low, and anything past 20k km/yr suggests a life of highway munching (not necessarily a bad thing).

Your number will swing with commute length, state, and how often you find excuses to “pop to Bunnings.”
