Lease mileage guide

Lease mileage chart: miles allowed by month

Find how many months you've had the car, then read across to your yearly allowance. That's roughly where your odometer should be (minus the miles it had at delivery). For example, 18 months into a 12,000 mile a year lease: 18,000 miles.

How to read it

Each figure is your yearly allowance spread evenly across the lease. Most leases only check the total at turn-in, so being a little over in one month isn't a problem by itself. Being over and pulling further ahead month after month is the pattern to catch early.
