A new study approaches the concept of longevity from an interesting angle, focusing on models that have achieved 200,000 miles. Put together by the data aggregator iSeeCars.com, the study was based on listings for 30 million vehicles advertised for sale during the last year. Looking at the model years 1981 to 2010, the company ranked those vehicles based on the percentage that achieved the impressive 200,000-mile mark. Not surprising, most were vehicles that also have had good reliability rankings in our annual owner surveys. Here’s the iSeeCars list, in order of most to least ads featuring cars with more than 200,000 miles.
