Reaching 200,000 miles is a milestone relatively few vehicles achieve (and 250,000 is rarer still). Regular maintenance plays a major role in longevity, yet durable engines and transmissions, proven mechanical designs, and readily available replacement parts can make certain vehicles especially well suited for years of high-mileage driving.
Toyota and Honda dominate the list below, according to iSeeCars' study of which vehicles are most likely to reach 250,000 miles — across all vehicles, the average odds are just 4.8%. Pickup trucks and SUVs also tend to stand out for longevity, in part because many are engineered for heavier workloads and extended use. From practical sedans to family SUVs and pickups, Stacker ranked the vehicles with the best chance of reaching that quarter-million-mile mark.

1 / 12The Accord has spent decades balancing practicality with the kind of durability that makes keeping an older car worthwhile. Its relatively straightforward engineering, fuel efficiency, and long history on American roads have helped make high-mileage examples a familiar sight.

2 / 12Few family sedans have a reputation for longevity quite like the Camry. Owners who stay on top of routine maintenance can keep these cars around for years, while their widespread availability also makes replacement parts and repairs relatively accessible.

3 / 12Practical enough for daily commuting but roomy enough for family duty, the CR-V often racks up miles doing a little bit of everything. That heavy everyday use hasn't stopped it from emerging as one of the SUVs with an above-average likelihood of surviving to 250,000 miles.

4 / 12Affordable running costs are only part of the Civic's appeal. Generations of the compact Honda have become known for dependable engines and efficient operation, helping explain why plenty remain in service long after reaching six figures on the odometer.

5 / 12Hybrid technology doesn't necessarily mean a shorter life on the road. The Prius has become one of the clearest examples, combining excellent fuel economy with enough durability to make 250,000 miles a realistic target for well-maintained examples.

6 / 12Years of school runs, road trips, and daily errands can add up quickly for a family SUV. The Highlander handles that workload particularly well, with its long-term durability helping owners justify keeping it instead of trading it in as the mileage climbs.

7 / 12Minivans tend to work hard, and the Odyssey is no exception. Designed around family transportation, it can accumulate substantial mileage over years of commuting, carpools, and vacations while still having a strong chance of remaining on the road at 250,000 miles.

8 / 12For drivers who need three rows without moving into a full-size SUV, the Pilot has long been a practical option. Its ability to withstand years of family use also puts it among the vehicles most likely to remain operational deep into high-mileage territory.

9 / 12Work trucks don't always lead easy lives, which makes the Tacoma's longevity especially notable. The midsize pickup has developed a devoted following for its rugged construction and ability to keep working after years of hauling, off-roading, and everyday driving.

10 / 12Heavy-duty use doesn't necessarily send the Tundra into early retirement. Nearly one-third are predicted to reach 250,000 miles (more than six times the 4.8% average across all vehicles), putting Toyota's full-size pickup well ahead of the pack in long-term survival.

11 / 12Rugged, truck-based construction has helped the 4Runner earn a reputation that extends well beyond its off-road ability. More than three decades of production have also produced countless high-mileage examples, with the SUV showing a particularly strong likelihood of reaching a quarter-million miles.

12 / 12At the top is the Sequoia, with a predicted 39.1% chance of making it to 250,000 miles — more than eight times the 4.8% average across all vehicles. Its combination of body-on-frame construction and heavy-duty capability has made exceptionally high mileage far from unusual for Toyota's largest SUV.
