Durability is one of your most important considerations when buying a car, especially if you're planning on keeping it for a long time. Which in turn begs the question: what, then, are the most durable vehicles you can buy?
In its latest study, iSeeCars.com looked into one way to measure that, determining which models had the highest percentage of vehicles lasting more than 200,000 miles.
The study backs up Toyota's reputation for build quality. Six of the top ten vehicles with the highest percentage of 200,000-mile vehicles were Toyotas. The legendarily bulletproof Land Cruiser led the way, with 16.3% hitting that threshold. (The average vehicle, in contrast, sees just 1 percent of its individuals make it to 200K miles.) Eight of the top ten were trucks or truck-based SUVs.
Not surprisingly, Toyota also led the way with 2.0% of all vehicles reaching 200,000 miles, with Honda (1.6%), Chevrolet (1.5%), Cadillac (1.5%) and GMC (1.4%) rounding out the top five.
Check out the top 10 longest-lasting vehicles below.
