Can You Guess The TEN Most Likely Vehicles That You Can Count On To Get At Least 200k Miles?

Durability is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a car. For the vast majority of consumers, buying new cars on impulse is not a financially or logistically feasible option. And for those who own a single car, a breakdown can be a major disruption to a daily commute or travel plans.

The automotive data and research site iSeeCars.com has compiled a list of the 10 vehicles that are most likely to last for 200,000 miles. The website compiled the list by looking at more than 13.5 million used cars, from model years 1981 through 2017, that were sold in 2017 and tracking which models were most likely to have at least 200,000 miles at the time of sale.

Here are the top ten. The lower the number, the higher the percentage of that model crossing the 200k threshold in resales.

10. Honda Odyssey

9.   Toyota Avalon

8.   Toyota Tacoma

7.   GMC Yukon

6.   Chevrolet Tahoe

5.   GMC Yukon XL

4.   Toyota 4Runner

3.   Chevrolet Suburban

2.   Ford Expedition

1.   Toyota Sequoia

Are you surprised?

What vehicles did you think would be there that are not?

Which vehicles have you owned that crossed 200k or were most trouble free?

I had a 1995 Mitsubishi Montero that lasted 11 years and 250,000 miles. The service manager at the dealer bought it and used it another 3 years. My wife has a 2010 Acura TL with 130,000 trouble free miles.

My first car was a Mustang Grande that I bought with 200K miles on it and I put another 50K on it before upgrading to a Jeep Cherokee that had 175K on it that I took to 250K.

I thought the TVR Sagaris would have been a shoe in.

No Europeans either. I recently shopped for a good pre-owned for myself. A lot of really nice E-class Mercedes came up in my search but the more I learned of that car's maintenance and cost of ownership after 70-80k the more I lost interest. Needless to say I passed on it as well and the BMW 5's I was seeing. I just don't trust them after the 100k mark (I have put over 200k on each of my last three cars).

A) Not Surprised. B) My 4Runner will be 14 years old in December. Good enough to drive to the train station and take the dog to the forest for a hike. It will go on forever if properly maintained.

Rust could be a problem. The home contracting crews around here drive 14-16 year old Tacos, beat the crap out of them, but they are still going.

@vdiv - Rust is a problem in Canada...Period. But with a 4Runner it is mainly the frame and suspension bits. Muffler too. Salting for safe roads in the winter comes at a cost. The body is great even at its advanced age. I still see mid 90's 4Runners on the road.

Obviously - the reason why THe FORD Crown Vic - and Mercury Grand Marquis are not on that list is that they rarely last that short of a time!

Any Toyota can last over 20 years and over 200k with modest repairs.

I am surprised the Toyota Corolla is not on the list

MD > My TVR Sagaris had 199,999.99 on the odometer and crapped out. I sold it for parts on craigslist for $99.99 !!!

Mine is actually quite reliable, but I disassembled it and sorted it out.

No surprise. Next time you drive on a Interstate highway get a gut feeling for the most driven vehicles around you (focus on driving, do it as a passenger or do it safely) you'll notice mostly American pickups, American + Japanese SUV's and Japanese cars. Not so many German cars or SAV's. It's mostly Highway miles.
