Strange. There are no 1988-2000 Jeep Wranglers on there, and there are a crap load of them on the road, and a large chunk of them are over 200K. Especially with the 4.0 inline 6.
Most cars will run 200,000 k miles IF they are maintained properly. That means more than washing and waxing and the occasional tire and battery changes and the once in a while oil change.
Many people think that certain parts that might cost some money to replace at a scheduled maintenance interval costs too much money to take care of and then complain when the part fails or causes another part to fail.
"Deferred maintenance" equals deferred failure, usually when you need the car most.
Some cars with very bad reputations can run for a very long time if properly maintained.
These days, it often seems that the car that can go longest with abuse is better than a car that can go as long if properly maintained. I say one has nothing to do with the other.
Odd that there are no Volvos or Saabs on there.
I have seen (and owned) a Volvo with more than 200k on it. My current Volvo will likely cross over 200k late next year if I still own it.
I would have been pretty disappointed if my 2007 Camry did not make it to 200k. As a courier I put on a lot a miles every year currently I have well over 300k. I hope to get to 500,000.
A lot of cars aren't on that list that will make 200k. I can name many from GM like the Camaro, Corvette, Regal, Cadillacs, and the gm trucks are a given to reach 200k for the most part. Same with Ford Mustang and Taurus.
Anything can last 200k if you follow the regular maintenance schedule on EVERYTHING not just the oil. Many people forget the trans fluid and coolant changes which are just as important as oil. And forgetting to grease chassis parts and change plugs etc..

Well, not changing plugs ends up leaving you stranded eventually with warning lights blinking.
I agree, most cars will make it close to, or over, 200K today with maintenance.
Even some older ones, I had a 1984 Cavalier that went to nearly 400K with only maintenance and wear items (exhaust, brakes, struts/shocks, water pump) before giving up the ghost.

They only included cars in this particular list, not SUVs so it's no reflection on the Jeep.
In its recently published study of all vehicles, iSeeCars found that the models most likely to be advertised with more than 200,000 miles overall were overwhelmingly work trucks and large SUVs, with the Ford F-250 leading the pack.
