Tips on Buying Cars: Mazda millenia, mazda millenia, mileage intervals


Question
What is the maximum number of miles i can expect from a 1195 Mazda Millenia with 165000 miles on it?

Answer
Seth,

Thanks for your question.  That is a very difficult question to answer.  The answer would depend on how well that vehicle has been maintained.  Has it had all of the recommended maintenance done on it at the correct mileage intervals, has it been involved in an accident where any type of electrical or mechanical parts have been replaced or repaired?  These are the questions that would have to be answered before that can be determined, and even with those questions answered it is not an exact science.  Mazda does, and has built VERY reliable vehicles.  I have seen Mazda's with in excess of 300,000 miles on them, now granted things have had to be done, transmission replaced, etc.  Almost any vehicle if properly maintained these days can last for upwards of 300,000 miles if not more.  Now with that being said, maintenance will have to be done.  A transmission might have to be replaced, and even an engine, but they can last for quite sometime even without those items being replaced if they are properly maintained.

Hope this helped to answer your question.

Thanks - JB
