This 2018 Study Reveals The Vehicles That Are Likely To Go Over 200,000 Miles
This 2018 Study Reveals The Vehicles That Are Likely To Go Over 200,000 Miles-March 2024

The most financially wise way to own a car is to keep it as long as possible. While our friends at have their predictions as to what models will reach beyond the 200,000-mile mark, a new study from reveals a different list—one that’s dominated by trucks and SUVs.

Unlike the Consumer Reports list that predicts reliability based on previous model years of certain vehicles, some of which have undergone significant changes in both the powertrain and technology department, iSeeCars take a longitudinal study approach to the same question. They examined 13.5 million used cars sold in 2017 from model years 1981 through 2017, and here’s what they found:

In iSeeCars.com’s analysis of more than 13.5 million cars sold in 2017, the Toyota Sequoia ranks first with 6.6 percent of its cars over 200,000 miles. At least 2.4 percent of all of the models on the top 10 list have over 200,000 miles, which is double the 1.2 percent average for all models.

This list looks surprisingly familiar to —that truck is still a good bet along with other large body-on-frame SUVs. Of course, if you don’t need something that massive but need to haul the family or just want a solid sedan, the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Avalon are your high mileage champs.

And here’s how luxury cars stacked up. Again, it’s trucks and SUVs, for the most part:

Suppose you really wanted to get some life out of your vehicle. In that case, iSeeCars also examined the cars and trucks that would make it past the 300,000 mark:

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Twin-Engine, Twin-Shifter Subueetle For 20 Grand?
We're back for more harsh price judgment on possible cases of car-seller wishful thinking. Is a seller's asking price grounded in reality or indicative of overindulgence in those mean ol' Hubba Rocks? Yesterday, 61% of you thought that $97,000 was just way too much louie for . Was that because...

The is one of the best looking Volvos currently made, which sounds like it could be a dig but isn't at all intended that way. The classically strange Swedish proportions combined with the elevated height and dark plastic cladding accented by satin metal create a tasteful effect that makes the...

Frankly, the world scares you. You've got three great kids and you'll do your best to guarantee that nothing happens to them between your gated community and their Montessori school. Your country club is on the other side of a somewhat bumpy road. You want a Volvo, so why not...

No amount of training or 24-hour news coverage-watching prepares you for the sight of your city, your home, suddenly transformed into a disaster area. Having recently moved back to Houston after a couple of years in Chicago, I made it just in time for Hurricane Ike to knock me around...

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $19,000 RHD Datsun Skyline C211?
It's time again, which means you have another chance to pass judgment on a car seller's possibly overoptimistic price tag! Today's car is one you don't see every day in North America, no doubt about it; the seller brought this '80 Datsun Skyline over from the UK, so it's even...
