‘17 Honda Accord, 750k km

[parshisa]

I’m in KSA right now, and got an Uber from airport, Honda Accord with 750k km on the clock. I asked the driver if he’s the first owner and if it still has original motor and transmission, he confirmed they are. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Arabic and he doesn’t speak much of an English, so couldn’t question him on what kind of maintenance he does. Just impressed with that many miles on the car operated in extreme conditions

Uber allows its drivers to use high-mileage cars like that? I did not know. Maybe the rules are different there.

I suspect he is not the only driver. That car probably Ubers 24/7/365 to accumulate that kind of mileage in six years. It’s impressive nonetheless.

Almost certain. It would be between 320 and 350 miles a day, every single day.

Cars that run for long, extended periods of time, seem to hit high mileage.

Looks like 466k miles. Which averages 213 miles per day, every day over six years.

Uber qualifications are certainly different over here. some of the cars I rode in didn't even have the seatbelts. At least driver don't speed as bad as they did back in '14 and '15. It was wild back then
