What mileage do you tell insurance

[Jay]

answers on a post card?

 

[Alan]

Up to 12k a year, i wont do 12k but its always better to say more than less IMO.

 

[Pete]

Loads of miles on my insurance! costs about £60 for every extra 6k.

 

[Has]

i tell them i do about 12k too,

i do mostly reach that limit as well. not much much tho

Best to be honest really

 

[ViolentJ]

im with adrian flux and they never asked what millage i do!

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Best to tell them accurate.

That said, when I had an accident last year, I was 4k over and the inspector came out to check the car but either never noticed or did but didnt say anything.

I was worried hed notice.

This year Ive said 15k. Not worth not getting a pay out for the sake of about £30 more.

 

[Alan]

Unless you have a classic car or something theres no real point in limiting your mileage for the sake of saving a few pound.

 

[JJ!]

8k because thats about what i do! lol!

 

[_Tom]

10k - but i dont drive to work ect

They wouldnt know anyways as they havent asked my milliage on the car!

 

[McBunny]

they can work it out from mots

 

[_Tom]

Spose they could yeah!

Doesnt matter as i dont do over 10k anyways! lol

 

[Jonaldinho]

12k is what I tell them and I am usually 1000 or less under it when renewal comes.

 

[_Kenny_]

10K but that will be coming down for my renewal as I dont drive to work just now

 

[DAVE_RSi]

what if youve lost your mot though???

are they really going to go and try 2 find out how many miles were on the clock last time you had an mot done?

im on about 7k miles i think

never asked what mileage the car was actually on though??

also if u have an accident and ur over, do they not just charge you for how many miles ur over etc??

 

[fUbAr]

i put 8k down on mine, and i actually do about 7k.

 

[Perthshire172]

they have no way of knowing your mieage when u start your insurance and easy way of stopping it getting high is by disconnecting the speedo cable!

 

[UncleRogi]

12k. Sometimes Im slightly over, but as it is only an estimate you have some "margin" for error.

they asked me and i told them 14k when i do near 30k but then i found out they only care if u do under 6k cos then ur insurance will be cheaper but above 6k it doesnt make a difference if u do near 100k per year

 

[edde]

15 or 17K I told them but need to get it increased to about 20k.

After paying all the money I do for insurance might as well pay the extra to be completly covered.

 

[Tiger]

up to 8k i put, ive only done 11k in 2 years tho!!

 

[t11mne]

What would happen then if you needed to claim on insurance with too many miles? Ive put 12k, done nearly 14k with 4 months to go!!

I need to get it amended methinks!

They didnt ask my insurance to start with, but it was brand new on the day I started insurance... they might be able to guess!

 

[Loki]

i have to keep changing mine every year cuz for my first year i put 8k and did 15k so i put 20k for my current insurance and ive done 18k so far and ive got 5monthes of that left might update it

what if you have a new car which doesnt need an mot for 3 years, or youve bought a car with 10k on the clock unless they ask for exact mileage they will never know

 

[davep24]

its impossible for an insurance company to find out how many miles you do. a car could do 30k in a year but that could be done by many people on different insurance policies

 

[Fred@BTM]

20K+ per year for me

 

[Snufty]

Just tell them 8K and tell them i do alot of trackday mileage a couple of trackdays a month (they dont do trackday insurance) but i dont do that many trackdays and they dont know that.

They never check the mileage anyway unless you put down a stupid figure

 

[RobHardyUK]

i gotta update mine, cos i said 8k, LOL

i do about 25k

as i thought i would get a 2nd runabout car, damn car is to fun to drive
