Short Journeys

Articles often talk about cars which have mainly short journeys being less desirable as cars which do mostly motorway mileages - but what is considered a short journey? My daily commute is about 16 miles per day there and 16 miles back but at weekends my car usually gets used for a 100 to 200 mile trip - is this a short journey vehicle ?

They aren't short journeys. Short journeys are half a mile to 5 miles.
