Dealers must love this. Also:

as long as they are under 10 years old and have covered fewer than 100,000 miles

In North America it's very common for cars to have this many miles long before the 10 year mark.

This "Toyota Relax" warranty appears to only apply in the UK, where average mileage is significantly lower than in the US.

Somewhere between ~8k and ~9k, according to a random BBC article I found:

Probably for a large percentage of the population.

FHA says the average is 14,300 miles a year, but 12,524 miles per year in our most populous state (California)

I guess that means the average American will hit 100,000 miles in 7 years.

It's a bit under the average (13,500) but not outrageously so.
