Automotive Brands with the Highest Average Mileage Lifespan
When you invest thousands and thousands of dollars into a car, you want to ensure that the vehicle you’re buying isn’t going to fall apart in the next couple years. Is there any way to know which brand is better to buy when it comes to projected vehicle longevity? There is!
Today’s cars are built to last twice as long as they used to, with certain models typically exceeding 250,000 miles (as long as they’re properly maintained and don’t receive body damage). Based on research done by multiple trusted automotive experts, there are the six brands recognized for lasting the longest.

6 Automakers Whose Cars Run Forever
Toyota: Time and time again, Toyota vehicles have been documented exceeding 250,000 miles, be that sedans, SUVs, or minivans. The longest-lasting models are typically the 4Runner, RAV4, Yaris, Camry, Prius, Sienna, and Corolla.
Honda: Honda has a reputation for producing vehicles that stay on the road well past what anyone expects them to. The Accord is the biggest contributor to this image, but the CR-V does its share of surviving.
Scion: You won’t see many Scions on the road these days due to their lackluster sales over the years, but the ones you do see are probably many years old–and have a long life ahead of them still. The xD and xB tend to run the longest.
Mazda: Mazdas are built for performance, but longevity comes hand-in-hand with that quality craftsmanship. If you maintain them well, Mazda vehicles can easily reach 200,000 miles on the odometer.
Ford: When it comes to American brands, their trucks and SUVs tend to last many, many years. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about their cars and crossovers, which tend to fall apart after 100,000 miles. Concerning Ford, you’ll typically see the F-150 and Expedition on the road avoiding retirement.
Chevrolet: The same goes for Chevy as it does for Ford. Avoid the cars and opt for the long-running trucks and SUVs.
