läbisõite

läbisõite is an Estonian word that translates to "mileage" or "distance traveled" in English. It specifically refers to the total number of kilometers or miles that a vehicle has covered since its manufacture. This term is commonly encountered in the context of automobiles, but can also apply to other forms of transportation.

The läbisõite is a crucial metric for assessing the condition and value of a used vehicle. A lower läbisõite generally indicates less wear and tear on the vehicle's components, suggesting it might be in better mechanical condition and potentially more reliable. Conversely, a higher läbisõite often implies more extensive use and potential for more immediate maintenance needs.

When purchasing or selling a vehicle, the läbisõite is a significant factor in determining its market price. Dealerships and private sellers will prominently display this figure. It is also a key piece of information that potential buyers will inquire about. Tampering with or falsifying the läbisõite is illegal in many jurisdictions and is considered a form of fraud. Vehicle history reports often include recorded läbisõite readings from various points in the vehicle's life, helping to verify its accuracy.
