Will last much longer: the brands of cars that can be counted on for many years are named

Buying a car is a big decision and a serious investment. Whether you're choosing a brand new model or checking out the aftermarket, it's important to invest in a vehicle that you can count on for the long term.

Experts conducted a study to determine which auto brands are durable. According to S&P Global Mobility, the average age of light-duty cars in the U.S. is 12.5 years. Of course, the average lifespan isn't measured in years, it's the mileage that is usually looked at.

In terms of mileage, according to Consumer Reports, cars should last 350,000 miles or more. However, this largely depends on the make and model. For example, according to Consumer Reports, some used vehicles with at least 250,000 miles, such as the Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner and Lexus GX, are still competitively priced because of their reputation for reliability and durability. If you're buying a new car or planning to do so soon, it's time to find out which brands are the best investments.

According to a study by iSeeCars.com, the average vehicle has an 11.8% chance of lasting more than 350,000 miles. Here are the top 1,010 vehicles that will be the best long-term purchase, according to iSeeCars.com.
