What Is the Lifespan of Your Car? (updated)

March 6, 2023 By CRS Automotive

One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a new or pre-owned car in Hamilton or Cambridge Ontario is its longevity. It’s important to consider how long you want to drive the car: is it going to be yours for a year or two, or is it your retirement car that will need to last ten or more years?

Note: An important part of keeping your car on the road for a long period of time is the car’s maintenance and service. We can help increase the lifespan of your car at the Hamilton auto repair shop.

What Influences the Longevity of a Vehicle?

A car’s longevity and reliability depend on many factors – only some of which you – as the owner – have any control over. Manufacturing quality is out of your hands, but it is prudent to research this before buying a vehicle. Information about a vehicle’s build quality is available online today, so educate yourself before making a financial commitment. Other factors are in your hands, such as maintaining the car and making sure you use only the best quality parts, fuels and oils. Doing this can increase your vehicle’s lifespan and maintain its resale or insurance value.
How do you measure the lifespan of your vehicle? Do you tally the number of times the car was sent to a mechanic for repair? Do you note the date you purchased the vehicle and calculate how many years you have been driving it? Or do you look at your mileage and draw a conclusion based on that?
Vehicle lifespan depends on multiple factors:

1) Manufacturer,
2) Class size,
3) Regular car maintenance,
4) Driving conditions.
Driving conditions in and around Hamilton, Canada, are often rough, especially in winter. These conditions make choosing a reliable vehicle even more important as you don’t want a poorly-manufactured car to break down and leave you stranded; you need a reliable and strong vehicle that you can rely on 365 days a year. Year after year, studies reveal which cars are the most reliable, often cited as one of the top three motivations for buying a car.

Latest Top-Sellers

Take a look at Canada’s top-selling cars for 2021:

We know what you are going to say – things change, it’s been 4 years since that study and there are many new models on the car scene now!

Well…

While we absolutely agree with that reasoning, it turns out that the top 4 best-selling vehicles from 2013 hold those exact positions today! Take a look:

1. Honda Civic

2. Hyundai Elantra

3. Toyota Corolla

4. Mazda3

This means they must have done something right when making these cars, don’t you think? Well, let’s see how these models fare when it comes to their mileage and predicted time on the road:

Warranty Comparison

Well, let’s see how some of these popular models fare when it comes to their mileage and predicted time on the road:
A study published on iSeeCars.com revealed that nearly 2% of Ford F-150 trucks cross the 320 000km mark. The truck ranks fifth in terms of longevity on their ranking. This means it’s a very reliable truck that almost guarantees many years of use without significant issues. The F-150 is a truck can easily go between 250,000 and 480,000 kilometers if you observe the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines.
When a Honda Civic is looked after and undergoes routine maintenance, you can expect around 20 years of happy driving. Honda Civics are famous for their longevity and reliability, making it unsurprising that the car holds the record for 24 years of number one sales of light passenger cars in Canada.
A Toyota RAV4 will last between 320,000 to 400,000 kilometers. Expect 13 to 16 years of reliable service from this SUV – obviously dependant on how much you drive. The Toyota Corolla is Canada’s second-best-selling passenger car (and seventh-best-selling vehicle overall), it’s also a global best seller. Toyota cites reliability as the backbone of its success.

Prolong the Lifespan of Your Car

The average vehicle in Canada has a ten-year lifespan. Naturally, the health of your car can be prolonged with regular maintenance. In fact, practically every car manufacturer has routine car maintenance as one of its conditions for the warranty to be valid. As long as you take good care of it, your vehicle will run the way it is supposed to for a long, long time.
Retain your car’s clean bill of health by adhering to the manufacturer’s recommendations for servicing and maintenance by visiting our CRS Automotive Hamilton repair shop.

We are located only 7 min driving West of The Centre on Barton Shopping Mall and 11 min South East of Hamilton General Hospital.
