12 Long-Lasting Cars Proven to Get to 200,000 Miles and Beyond
CR's exclusive surveys show these sedans, SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks are smart choices for the long haul
Almost any car can make it to 200,000 miles and beyond if you spend enough money on it. The better strategy is to start with a model that has proven to be safe, scored high in our road tests, has a strong reliability track record, and has been properly maintained. This put the odds on your side for a long, happy ownership experience. Just make sure you follow the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual, and take care of minor problems as they arise.
These are the top 12 most problem-free cars, minivans, pickup trucks, and SUVs that have proved to most often go 200,000 miles or farther, according to surveys of Consumer Reports members. Many other models in our Annual Auto Surveys reached that milestone, but they did not have as high a percentage of trouble-free vehicles.
