A reliable vehicle with more than 100,000 km is likely capable of traveling another 100,000 km or less. If you put about 12,000 km on the car each year, you may be able to use it for up to 8 years. In this case, it’s also important to consider the age of the car. If it’s a 3-year-old car, it means that its owner has been putting more than 30,000 km on it each year. Due to the tough life it has had, its engine and other components may have sustained more wear and tear than usual.
It can be somewhat risky to buy a vehicle that has racked up more than 100,000 km. Even if it’s well-maintained and has about 100,000 km left in it, such a car is already past its prime. Generally, vehicles are likely to start experiencing problems after the 100,000km mark. Also, in most cases, they no longer have a valid manufacturer’s warranty, meaning you have to pay for repairs out of your own pocket when something goes wrong.
