Longest lasting vehicles on the road
Here is a link to survey data from USA Today for the percentage of vehicle types with over 200,000 miles on them. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/02/23/long-lasting-200000-miles/57047...

Figuring the average person drives 12-15,000 a year, that means it would take 13 years to accumulate 200,000 miles at 15,000 miles a year. Even at 20,000 a year it would take 10 years. So the report is saying that vehicles 10 years old and older are the most reliable.
A 2004 6.0 Ford with the worst diesel put in a truck is included in the most reliable? Even figuring someone driving 25,000 a year it would take 8 years to reach 200,000 miles and that means a 2006 6.0 Ford. Really? I guess the millions they sold were not enough to sway the results from the V10 and 5.4's that were in SD's.
So this report is based on 8-12 year old cars and trucks?
I will say we bought our 2003 Accord knowing it would go 200,000 miles. It's now got 117,000 on it. 8 more years to go.
