I dropped the MINI off for the dreaded test yesterday, which I'm glad to say it passed.

I was surprised to see when reading the certificate I had done around 7,500 miles in it over the last 12 months, it sonly used for track days, the odd car meet and sunny day blasts around the country side. I have a diesel daily that does all the normal stuff (25K + a year).

Anyone else do a surprising number of miles in a dedicated track car?

I'd expect 2-3k a year.

I take the Tube to work, and have a plugin hybrid for dull weekend driving.

10k miles in my dedicated track day car, since Sept 2016. That includes 3 ring trips and a Spa.

had the MXt for three years now and racked up 35,000 smiles, bearing in mind there are four other cars in the garage for fun and a diesel van for work i think this is testament to the joy of driving a charged 5.
Maybe 10-12 trackdays a year included and it is my go to chariot for european holiday hoons..........destination Romania this year

I was so surprised about how few miles I had done in my track/ weekend car in the last year I had to go and check the MOT tester had put the right numbers in!
Despite 3 trackdays, regular weekend use, use all year and not just for summer and going to more car meets than I can remember I have only managed 2-2.5k miles!

Mines insured for up to 5k a year, I don't normally get near that (MX-5) I did this year as some scrote nicked my daily car so I had only the MX-5 for a month but otherwise very low mileage.

I have a Clio 197 i use as a fun car, weekend toy and track car. It racks up around 8-10k a year, i still think using a track car on the road is the best way to prep a car, if you have any issues road use always seems to bring them to light.

Mine does more miles on the back of the trailer I think.
