Engine Idle hours

[newfordguy123]

I was planning to buy a used 2020 Ford expedition. It has 24000 miles. When I went through the information it shows that engine hours is 975 hour and engine idle hours is 273 hours. Is it ok to buy?

I think it'd be fine AS LONG AS IT HAS SERVICE RECORDS.

Are you making this decision based on engine hours and miles alone?
If yes, then sure it's a decent ratio, 24000 miles at roughly 700 driving hours, is 34 miles for every hour.
More miles for less hours is the ratio you want to target, that would imply more highway or cruising.

Personally, this is an incredibly useless metric when considered in isolation. if those 24000 miles were all towing 8k lbs, you'd have far more wear. you get the point on this is only one metric...
