Cars Named Capable of Driving 1,000,000 Kilometers (621,000 Miles) Without Major Overhaul
The endurance of these cars is astounding: owners have driven them for over a million kilometers without significant breakdowns and repairs.
Some cars not only stand the test of time — they confidently surpass the million-mile mark without the need for significant interventions. Check out the selection of cars that have proven their phenomenal reliability in practice.
The absolute record holder is the 1981 Mercedes-Benz 240D. American Paul Harman drove it for many years, covering about two million kilometers (1,242,742 mi), only changing the oil and clutch.
Such stories are not unique. Among Japanese models, the 1996 Lexus LS 400 is particularly noteworthy: according to a blogger from the USA, the powertrain passed 1.6 million kilometers (994,193 mi) without a major overhaul.
Some cars became museum pieces after record mileage. One such case involves the Saab 900 SPG, which covered one and a half million kilometers (932,057 mi) before taking its place in an exhibition. Meanwhile, a 1990 Honda Accord was used as a taxi, also surpassing one and a half million kilometers (932,057 mi). A separate case is the 2013 Hyundai Elantra, which courier Farrah Haines drove 900 kilometers daily. The result — one and a half million kilometers (932,057 mi) driven, for which the manufacturer awarded her a new car.
