How long should a car last?
I’m going to be buying a vehicle on my own for the first time. I’m trying to compare how long different makes and models can last, but it’s hard when I don’t know what’s standard. How long should a car last?

How exciting to be buying a car for the first time! It’s good that you’re considering how long a vehicle will last before going ahead with a purchase on one. These days, many modern vehicles are expected to last 200,000 miles or longer—with proper care and maintenance.
If you drive 15,000 miles per year, that means a standard vehicle could be expected to last 13 years.
Whatever vehicle you end up choosing for yourself, make sure it’s covered by the right
