The days of even the most reliable cars barely lasting 100,000 miles are long over, but that doesn’t mean you can expect every single new vehicle on sale today to be a reliability juggernaut. And just because a lot of cars are capable of lasting past the 200,000-mile mark, there’s no guarantee that the specific car you buy will get there without costing you a small fortune in repair bills.
That’s where Consumer Reports comes in. The cars on this list “are the top 12 most problem-free cars, minivans, pickup trucks, and SUVs that have proved to most often go 200,000 miles or farther, according to surveys of Consumer Reports members.” So if you want a car that will last you for multiple decades, these are likely the best bets you can make.
