In 2022, the average age of used vehicles on the road in the U.S. hit a new record high at 12.2 years. Additionally, vehicle mileage returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2021, with drivers averaging 12,300 miles last year, according to an S&P Global Mobility Report released in May. This uptick in vehicle age and miles driven presents a powerful opportunity for automotive services providers.

“Coupled with increasing average age, strong average vehicle miles traveled points to the potential for a notable increase in repair revenue in the coming year,” according to Todd Campau, associate director of aftermarket solutions at S&P Global Mobility.
