Assuming one keeps their Yaris stock, and does all the recommended maintenence by the book (or better), how long is it reasonable to expect the motor to last? 200,000 miles reasonable?

spkrman · 03-19-2007, 04:53 PM

i'd say its very reasonable... i'd say 300k wouldn't be out of the question - maybe even 400k or more? :)

400k,I dont think the popable inside panels would last that long.

It depends how you drive it; 150,000-200,000 if your hard on it and 300,000-500,000 if your really nice. I've regularly seen Toyota's go even furthur than that without problems.

my cousin's old Cressida finally died on them. the mileage was very near 400,000 miles.

400,000 all day long, I used to see over that all the time on Toyota's at the oil change place

slothman86 · 03-20-2007, 05:14 PM

my old 86 had ...um 295,000 and was still kickin'

It will last as long as you take care of it- follow the factory maintenance schedule and use factory fluids.

I see 1991-1994 LS 400 sedans all the time with 400,000+ miles, and not a thing wrong.

I agree. Regular maintenance and not abusing the car will make it last easily over 200,000 miles. When the motor finally blew in my grandpa's '73 chevy truck, it had well over 400,000 miles on the original block. Yeah it had the usual oil leaks etc, but it got the job done. No reason the same thing shouldn't happen to your Yaris.

my winter beater 88 corolla has over 265,000 miles and i think the frame will rust out before the engine retires....

Member triniper4mance hit 457,000 miles in January of 2012 (see comments on his YouTube channel) and member Mazilla hit 470,000 miles on his car in September or October of 2011---although he stated the previous owner had to replace the engine (at what mileage interval did this occur?--I don't know). I'll hit 208,000 miles in the next couple of days on my original engine.
