Engine hours

Post by Anthony »

Good Morning everyone
Have a great day

How can you interpret
engine hours into idling/odometer miles
on these 2010- ppv’s ?

Thanks

What are you trying to accomplish here? It's not clear. Are you trying to discern if the mileage is tampered on a car you're looking at? About all you can interpret from it is that if the car has 7000 hours on it and 3500 of those hours are spent idling, it spent about half it's running life sitting on the side of the road waiting for speeders, or investigating accidents. Higher idle times and higher mileage, would probably indicate that when the car was on the road, it was at a higher speed, but even then, the average speed is in the low tens of MPH.
