Abstract

A method for operating a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine. In the method, the operation of the motor vehicle is influenced as a function of at least one operating parameter determined during an operating time of the motor vehicle. In order to take wear and tear of the motor vehicle and the internal combustion engine into consideration, an operating parameter suitable for determining wear and tear of the motor vehicle is detected, a value corresponding to the wear and tear is determined, and the operation of the motor vehicle is adjusted according to the determined value.
