If you’re shopping around for a new or used vehicle, finding a reliable set of wheels is probably at the top of your wish list.
According to a new study from the car search engine iSeeCars.com, you should consider an SUV if you want a long-lasting vehicle that can reach 200,000 miles or more.
In fact, the report concluded that eight out of the 10 vehicles most likely to last 200,000 miles are SUVs.
SUVs, cars and pickup trucks that will last 200,000 miles or more!
iSeeCars.com analyzed more than 13.8 million cars sold in 2018 and found the Toyota Sequoia ranked first with 7.4% of its vehicles over 200,000 miles.
At least 2.2% of all of the top 14 models identified by the site have over 200,000 miles, almost triple the 0.8% average for all models.
“With the right maintenance and care, today’s vehicles have the potential to reach 200,000 miles,” said iSeeCars CEO Phong Ly. “While large SUVs and pickup trucks appear most often on the list, those looking for sedans and minivans can also find a vehicle that is proven to be a high-mileage hauler.”
