Too Afraid to Ask

Low miles means the car hasn't been driven much. Cars that have been used less are usually in better shape.

Technical Definition

'Low miles' refers to a vehicle that has been driven a relatively short distance compared to others of the same make and model. Cars with low mileage are often considered more desirable due to less wear and tear.
