High-Mileage Ownership
What actually changes when a car crosses 100,000 miles, and how to think about the next 100,000.
Modern engines and drivetrains are routinely capable of well past 200,000 miles with consistent maintenance. What changes with age is not the ceiling, it is the shape of the risk.
Wear items like suspension bushings, timing components, and cooling system parts have expected service lives. Owning an older car is easier when you plan around those intervals rather than react to them.
The goal of this track is to help you see your vehicle as a system, understand which components matter most for reliability, and set a realistic maintenance calendar you will actually follow.
