Im doing around 500 miles a week that works out around 26k a year lol be careful with the insurance thing tho they could check up on you and make your insurance void.... just a heads up plenty of people do it and get away with it tho

Average about 350 miles a week, been more than that lately though...
But its ok, I hibernate for 6 months so won't go over my yearly insurance allowance.

My insurance is down as 5k a year and that should be about spot on tbh. If I drive to work every day for a month I'd do 40 miles, and then add on an average of 350 miles of social driving every month.

80,000miles per year normally 1-2k per week. Never under 1k per week. Done 20k in my combo in 2 months.
Edit - Combo died this morning only had 90k on bottom end was knocking and smoke everywhere.
2 of our berlingos went back back last week both 10plates had the 2 year. 1 had 167k on the other 159k.

Between 12,000 and 15,000 I should think. Recently had to upgrade my policy to say I did work mileage too, cost me another £65!

I've done almost 6k since I bought the 6 in March. My Insurance is 10K. Ooops
My round-trip to work each day is around 16 miles, 2 miles between mine and Scott's a few nights each week, then random trips to Niall & Grant, Bicester, Reading, my Grandparents in Chichester....

7k last year, hopefully around the same this year. Was like 15k the year before though due to my absurd 50-miles-each-way commute.

I've had my Dturbo 6 weeks, done just under 9,000 miles! I used a full tank/£75 in 3 days when I bought it.
I was working in cheltenham, 53 miles each way/106 mile a day, 6 days a week. And driving around to Hereford etc most nights with mates, I usually do 100 miles social driving a day...
