A well-maintained used ute can be a smart, cost-effective buy for a business, even when it has clocked up plenty of kilometres. Many owners assume high mileage rules out finance, but that is not always the case. Whether a high-kilometre ute can be financed depends on the vehicle, its age and the lender's criteria.
Can I finance a high-kilometre ute?
Lenders often look at a used vehicle's age, condition and total kilometres together rather than mileage alone. A ute with high kilometres may still be financed by some lenders, though the term offered or the indicative rate may differ from a low-kilometre example. Every lender sets its own limits, so outcomes vary.
What helps a high-kilometre application?
A clear service history, a reasonable purchase price and a sound business profile can all support an application on a higher-kilometre ute. Whether you are buying privately or from a dealer can also affect which lenders will consider it. These factors are assessed subject to each lender's criteria.

Because appetite for high-kilometre and older vehicles varies widely, comparing lenders is especially valuable here. As a broker with access to more than 80 lenders, Overdrive can help identify those most likely to consider your particular ute rather than leaving you to guess.
