If you want a long-lasting car, then a Toyota or an American pick-up truck is your best bet, according to industry research website iSeecars.com.
Now in its tenth year, their annual 'Longest-Lasting Cars' study analysed over 260 million cars sold between 2012 and 2022 to determine which cars were most likely to survive very high mileages.
The study found that pick-up trucks dominate the list, with 10 of the 23 longest-lasting vehicles made up by them, and Toyota makes plenty of reliable cars, with 8 models in the top 23 list.
In that same list, only three SUVs make it: the Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Sequoia, and the Honda Pilot. If you'd like a passenger car to do the same, then look towards the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, or the Toyota Avalon.
It said that the Top-23 of vehicles are the most likely vehicles to last 400,000 km or more, and the best ones have a 40+ percent chance of reaching that milestone โ the average vehicle has only an 11.8 per cent chance of lasting that mileage.
Here's the list in its entirety:

โThe cost of new and used cars has never been higher, which means a long vehicle lifespan has never been more appealing to buyers on a budget,โ said iSeeCars.com Executive Analyst Karl Brauer.
