Car lifespans / Mitsubishi
How long do Mitsubishi cars last?
Mitsubishi models average about 195,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The Montero leads at an estimated 230,000 miles, and the i-MiEV is lowest at 120,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.
Mitsubishi lifetime miles by model

What the difference is worth
Take two used Mitsubishis, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the Montero has 130,000 miles left, or $0.062 per mile. The i-MiEV has 20,000 left, or $0.400 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
See what a car really costs
Divide a car's price by the miles it has left and you get its cost per remaining mile. The free Carpool extension does this on every car you view on Facebook Marketplace, or you can score one by hand with the calculator.
