Which Cars Really Last 250,000 Miles? Toyota and Lexus Lead, but Tesla Surprises

If you want a car that can roll past a quarter-million miles, the data is clear: Toyota and Lexus are the champs. A new study from iSeeCars, which looked at over 174 million vehicles, found that Toyota has nearly an 18% chance of reaching 250,000 miles. Lexus follows at nearly 13%, with Honda and Acura also well above average.

That’s great news for owners of Toyota, Lexus, and Honda vehicles—including hybrids. For you, that long-term reliability is built in.

6% chance of hitting that high-mileage mark—beating out Mazda, Subaru, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and even Porsche. For anyone worried about EV battery life, that’s a reassuring sign. Electric cars skip a lot of traditional wear items: no oil changes, no timing chains, fewer moving parts.

Battery health is still something to watch, but modern EVs can go the distance.

For our customers with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW, Volvo, Jaguar, Lexus, Toyota, or Honda vehicles—whether gas or hybrid—routine maintenance is what keeps you on the road that long. If you’ve got a recall notice or just want a thorough inspection, bring it by our shop. We’ve been keeping Boca Raton’s European and Japanese cars running strong since 1989.
