"Average drivers" will rack up between 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year on a car.
Knowing this, vehicles with less can be in the range of well taken care of and garaged to completely neglected as a secondary vehicle.
On the other end of the spectrum you have well maintained commuters and overworked work-horses. The current condition of the car is more valuable to know than the mileage, especially when they are over 100,000 miles.
The Chevy would on average be between 84k and 105k miles, so it has been driven a *lot*, but then again SUV's get a lot of highway driving.
The Ford also has high miles compared to the average, but less above norm at 165k for the high end.

first off you never look at mileage to check shape
you can find a low mileage car thats been drove at drag strip and be junk with 2000 miles
type into search box

how to check a used car

get a check list to help you look for signs of problems
thats tells you shape

an dif you look at a few check list done wil say check mileage since it has little to do with what shape a car is in or not
beside age

my car has over 390,000 miles in great shape had it 6yrs

No they're both about correct for their age.
