1.
mileage; distance traveled; odometer reading
The total distance a vehicle has traveled, typically measured in kilometers. A key factor when buying or selling used cars, and commonly displayed on the odometer.
この車の走行距離は五万キロだ。
This car has 50,000 kilometers on it.
走行距離が少ない中古車を探している。
I'm looking for a used car with low mileage.
走行距離が十万キロを超えると、部品の交換が必要になることが多い。
Once the mileage exceeds 100,000 kilometers, parts often need to be replaced.
USAGE:
One of the first things checked when buying a used car in Japan. Also relevant for lease agreements, vehicle inspections (車検), and electric vehicle range discussions. Japan uses kilometers, not miles.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 走行距離が長い / 短い (high / low mileage)
- 走行距離が少ない (low mileage)
- 総走行距離 (total distance traveled)
- 年間走行距離 (annual mileage)
