High-mileage cars are most often chosen by buyers with a limited budget, young drivers looking for their first car, and those who need a work or temporary vehicle. They are also a good option as a family’s second car for shorter city trips. A low purchase price makes mobility possible without a large initial investment.
For older vehicles, it is essential to check the condition of the engine and gearbox through a thorough diagnostic and test drive. Be sure to inspect the body for corrosion, especially on the sills, fenders, and underbody. Check the condition of the tires, brakes, shock absorbers, and exhaust system. Ask to see the service book and maintenance history. Realistically budget for initial spending on routine service and minor repairs.
Models known for durability include Toyota Corolla and Avensis, Honda Civic and Accord, Mercedes E-Class W210/W211, Volvo S60 and V70, VW Golf and Škoda Octavia with TDI engines. These cars often go beyond 300,000 km with basic maintenance. Diesel engines with robust construction especially handle high mileage well.
For buyers with a limited budget or those who need a work vehicle, an older car can be a practical solution. The key is to realistically assess annual maintenance costs and potential repairs. Reliable models with documented service history are the best choice.
With regular servicing and timely component replacement, reliable models can still serve for years. Many older Toyota, Honda, and Mercedes models are still driven reliably with over 400,000 km.
Annual maintenance costs for older cars depend on the model and condition. A realistic budget is EUR 400 to 1,000 per year, including regular service, registration, and minor repairs. For models with more expensive parts, the costs can be higher.
