Another guy on YouTube averaged even more per year. He does deliveries and works all around Iowa and 3 nearby states. IIRC, he bought a 2009 Corolla in 2009 at Toyota of Des Moines and in 3 years and (doing deliveries) put somewhere between 503,000 and 509,000 miles on the car.

Lets not forget my car(highest mileage Yaris in the world as far as I know @ 540,000) and the entire fleet of Yaris the company had(07-08) with a min of 350k up to 475k when we bought them out back in 2011. Every car there ran hundreds of miles per day 5 days a week, mine was at 500(ish) per day. They also had a handful of 600K Echo.


There is no other maker out there that can handle the miles like Toyota, this is first hand experience with dozens of people who put on 100,000+ miles per year for the last 20 years. Some of them don't even change their oil....
