On the one hand, a car with colossal figures on the counter scares the buyer, because after purchasing a damaged car, it can just crumble. On the other hand, high mileage directly indicates that the car has enviable indicators of reliability and wear resistance. In other words, with proper and timely maintenance, it can please its owner for many years. Which models live longer than others?
According to an analysis of data on consumer requests for the history of cars in the secondary market conducted by Avtoteka analysts, the Korean Hyundai Accent sedan had the highest average mileage among cars four to seven years old and among three-year-old cars , the Kia Optima. As for older products, the most “long-playing” experts recognized the Japanese Isuzu D-Max.
For models in the age group up to three years, the maximum average mileage was recorded for Russian-Japanese crafts of the Datsun system – 67,552 km. GAZ trucks took second place with an average of 45,847 km, and the TOP-3 is closed by the German brand Volkswagen, whose models cover an average of almost 45,000 km in less than three years. Also in the top five are products from Kia and domestic LADA, whose figures range from 43,000 to 44,000 km.
As already mentioned, among the “three-year-olds” the maximum mileage is typical for the Kia Optima sedan – almost 80,000 km. Which, however, is not surprising, because these Korean cars are actively used in taxis. The Datsun on-DO rolls 10,000 less, and the Kia Sorento Prime is inferior to the infamous 10,000 kilometers. In three years more than 50,000 will be added, the Russian “Niva” and “Largus”. But, as we know, for “our brands” – these are just flowers.
