I have a company vehicle and we live close to my wife's work. If her car gets 15,000 miles a year its unusual and it is our main vehicle on the weekends. I have had my Jeep since 2004 and I have only put a touch under 70K miles on it. It has been a daily driver off and on but not since 2012 really.
We used to worry a lot about MPG but we quit because of our low mileage. We replaced her Journey with a 2018 Durango R/T where 12mpg on a tank in the winter time is not uncommon lol. It is actually getting 14 on her short commute here lately though, almost as good as the journey.

These days we don't drive a lot of miles.. I'm guessing 4,000/year. I recall reading the US average was 10k/year..?
When I was single, I used to be as high as 1,000 miles per week, for two reasons - I supervised several construction sites, and I'd easily drive 3-4 hour weekend trips for outdoor fun and friends.
I'm sure it will depend on your job, and where you live - how far away things are to travel to.
Now I'm married, kids, retired - my wife commutes 5 miles, and I drive just for pleasure or errands, plus some 6-7 hour vacation trips thrown in every year. Our 2005 Sienna has 80k something, and our 2013 CC has maybe 50k.. both bought used, with miles on them. I put about 2,500 miles on all our Classic cars combined - in a good year. - Art

During a normal year, my wife will drive about 12k miles/year. That's gone way down since the schools closed. In a normal school year, about 10.5k miles of that 12k will be during the school year, and only about 1.5k during the summer months.
Before I started working from home, I drove about 17k miles/year. Now, it's about 8k/year. I usually drive when we go somewhere. Out to eat, visit family, soccer practice/games, etc. In my prior work role, I was on the road constantly, drove about 50k miles/year between work and personal.
My daughter has been driving for 1 year, and has put about 6k on her car.

We don't drive much. We bought the '04 BMW in January of 2015 with 92k miles. It has about 117k now. The 2000 Durango gets driven a bit more had 113,000 miles when we bought it in late 2011/early 2012. It sat for the better part of a year while I was looking for body parts. It just turned 170,000...

I bought my most recent 2004 Tacoma in mid 2004. It was the last one of that model on the lot, as they they changed and upsized the newer models. My previous Tacoma had 240K+, and thought it was reaching its end of useful Life. Last time I checked years back, the new owner of the previous Tacoma had over 400K on his. With my current Tacoma, I parked it for a couple of years while I zipped around putting 100K+ on a VW TDI, which was fun. I then went back to driving the O4 Tacoma, original timing chain, tows 5K lb concrete blocks, engine has never been opened, original rear brakes, etc, now has 502K+. That doesn't include any of the hundred of thousands of miles I put on the work trucks over the years. So to answer the original question, a few.

I don't get in as much seat time since retirement, probably about 12-15,000/year, but that's a guess. Soon as I got my driver's license I could hardly be pried from behind the wheel. (Actually, before, to be honest...) From the mid '70s through the late '80s, easily 70K a year. It was mostly business, time-is-money style, plus road trips. Then some years commuting & some road trips. Mid-late '90s, seat time picked back up, about 50K/year, until 2004. After that, 5 years of a 126-mile/day commute in any weather. Then it tapered off again to about 40-45K/year, until I retired 18 months ago.
I absolutely love driving, though; hoping to get in a couple of long road trips this year.
