Morphology

mileage = mile (transparent) = mile + age

This is a straightforward noun formed from 'mile' with '-age', referring directly to the amount of miles traveled.

Etymology

Mileage comes from mile (from Latin mille 'thousand') plus -age 'amount', so it literally means the 'amount of miles'. That is why mileage is used for the total distance travelled or shown on a vehicle.
