Hi Liam,

 

I can understand that mileage indicates longevity of mechanical parts and reliability.

 

But surely service history has a huge role to play in both too.

What parts have already been replaced to achieve that recorded mileage? Most owners won't know.

 

So I am not sure what conclusions can be drawn; other than which vehicle has the largest indicated mileage.

 

However, I would suggest 180k km is quite low for a Toyota

But then, I previously had a Jaguar that covered 250k miles before becoming uneconomical to maintain.

Maintenance is the most important thing when it comes to longevity but still doesn't get a bad engine design to half a million miles. I would say 180000kms is still low for most engines, I would love to hear others who have had there Alphard long-term and big miles

You regularly see them over +250k km on cheap exporter sites ready to spend the rest of their days in Africa.

That's impressive seems like they will be long lived motors if looked after
