From Land Cruiser And Sienna To Avalon And Pilot, Here Are Longest-Lasting Cars To Reach Over 230,000 Miles
From Land Cruiser and Sienna to Avalon and Pilot, here are the longest-lasting cars to reach over 230,000 miles.
Toyota vehicles account for 10 of top 20 vehicles with the longest lifespan, with Land Cruiser and Sequoia dominating.
SUVs and trucks are the most common vehicle types to rank high, confirming the long-term, heavy-use value of the vehicles.
A new study by automotive research firm and car search engine, iSeeCars.com, has named Toyota Sequoia and Land Cruiser among the longest-lasting cars to go over 230,000 miles and beyond.
In its research, iSeeCars analyzed over two million cars produced and sold for at least 10 of the past 20 model years, ranking each model by its highest mileage-achieving cars.
According to the research, the top 20 models with the greatest potential lifespan include 10 Toyotas and three Hondas, along with two Chevrolets, two GMCs, two Fords, and one Nissan.
All 20 models had at least 2.5 percent of the top-ranking 20 models clear 200,000 miles, and the top 1 percent of these vehicles delivered between 230,000 and 297,000 miles over the last two decades.
“What we see is a list of highly-durable vehicles, capable of more than a quarter-million miles of use if properly maintained,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer.
“And to be clear, this study isn’t reporting the maximum lifespan of these vehicles. This is simply a measure of current odometer readings. Most of these cars are still in use and going strong.”
Below are iSeeCars Top 20 Cars Offering the Greatest Potential Lifespan and their potential lifespan in miles.

While the top two models are both full-size Toyota SUVs, the newer Sequoia edges out the iconic and rugged Land Cruiser in potential lifespan.
“The Land Cruiser has a proven track record of durability, but its aging platform has been eclipsed by the modern and refined Sequoia, as reflected in the heavier use and higher mileage achieved by Toyota’s newer SUV,” said Brauer.
Below are iSeeCars Top 10 SUVs Offering the Greatest Potential Lifespan and their potential lifespan in miles.
1 Toyota Sequoia – 296,509 miles
2 Toyota Land Cruiser – 280,236 miles

10 Honda Pilot – 236,807 miles
iSeeCars.com also notes that pickup trucks are the second-most common vehicles to achieve over 230,000 miles of potential lifespan, with Japanese trucks making up four of the five trucks in the top 20.
“Trucks also offer a compelling blend of durability and utility, but they aren’t as flexible at hauling both people and cargo as SUVs, resulting in lower use and only half as many trucks making the list,” noted Brauer.
