Shoppers looking for a reliable, durable, and long-lasting vehicle may want to prioritize SUVs and pickups from five key brands, according to a study from the automotive search engine and research outfit iSeeCars.com. 

The company looked at more than 15.8 million used-car transactions from 2019 to identify the makes and models that are most likely to last for at least 200,000 miles. It found that on average, only 1% of used cars sold last year had at least 200,000 miles on the clock, but some brands and models proved longer lasting than the rest. 

It should be noted that mileage alone is not the only metric by which you can measure reliability. Additionally, there are plenty of vehicles on the road that are reliable but may never reach 200,000 miles simply because they aren’t driven enough.

According to iSeeCars.com’s research, five brands — Ford, GMC, and Honda among them — build cars that are more likely to chug along for at least 200,000 miles than the average vehicle. The longest-lasting models are primarily SUVs and pickups, but some sedans and minivans were in the mix as well.
