A Jeep can last up to 15 years, with great care and maintenance they can even last up to 20 years. As you can see from the list, Jeeps are among the few that can go well over 10 years and , miles. One thing we can all agree on is that Jeeps are kings when it comes to off-roading. With all that abuse they endure, how long can you really expect them to last?
Fortunately, most Jeeps are built to handle the most gruesome terrains. This means not only will a Jeep drive well in rough off-road terrain, but they can still keep going well after that.
The Jeep Wrangler and the jeep Wrangler unlimited have been known to be the most reliable and long-lasting Jeep models. Because the Wrangler is built for the outdoors and can survive rough terrain, it makes it that much tougher and adds to its longevity. It has been known to carry owners for well over 10 years.
With good maintenance, both the Wrangler and Cherokee can last well over 15 years. Jeep owners are very proud of their cars, and make sure to take care of them as best as they can. They know that, with a Jeep, the better care you take of it, the longer it will last you. The thing is, nowadays super-old but great performing cars are not so common. But Jeeps on the other hand, if well taken care of, can last you a pretty long time.
The offroading capability is built in a way that lets you drive in rough, outdoor terrain and then switch over to normal roads easily. There are those who take their Jeeps to the limit and use them both for outdoor weekends and as everyday cars. This is great when if you happen to be an outdoor enthusiast but work an office job. What do you do then? Do you get a second car for commuting to work and a Jeep for off-roading weekends?
Two cars would be quite expensive, but if you have a Jeep, you can use it both for commuting and your outdoor adventure driving. But now using a Jeep as a daily commuter can rack up some miles if you travel far for work.
This brings up the question:. Jeep models are known to last well over , miles. A well-maintained Jeep Wrangler can last for up to , miles. Most cars start having serious problems at , miles.
A normal car can last a long while if the owner takes decent care of it. If you use a Jeep as a daily commuter, the miles will certainly add up but it would still hold up much better than other cars.

Buying tip If you're looking for an off-road-focused model, consider the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which is nearly as practical in other ways as the Liberty yet has top-notch trail ability. See Full Jeep Liberty Specs ». With the off-road-focused Renegade model now gone, it's hard to see much value in the Jeep Liberty, as there were already plenty of better choices for those looking to spend most of the time on-road, commuting or shuttling kids..
Review continues below. Rear or four-wheel-drive layouts are offered throughout the lineup. Four-wheel-drive models don't track quite as well on the road, but in either model the steering is reasonably responsive. That said, neither handling isn't great, as it feels uncertain especially over choppy highway surfaces; but it does translate to good low-speed maneuverability--an attribute that weekend warriors and city-dwellers will like. Relative to other off-road-capable utility vehicles, the cargo floor is low, too, and the seats fold down neatly to a surprisingly vast space.

Posted: Thu Dec 18, am. I used to be in construction and my boss had money pouring out of his ears. He bought 3 new tri axles in 1 day that's about a million dollars after taxes. What I was leading up to is, even though he had money, the company trucks were never serviced other then state inspections. No oil changes, no radiator flushes, no nothing. They still are up and running. I left the company 4 months ago and most of the trucks besides the tri axles had over k miles.
I'm no trying to persuade you to forget about this kj, but just because its a company car doesn't mean it was treated like you and I would treat our personal cars.
I know my father has had 2 company trucks all over about 10 years. The first one was almost k miles. The second one is still in progress with about k miles. Those trucks were taken in before they need oil changes and everything else. It just depends on the driver.
Sorry for the lengthy response. Gen 5. Posted: Thu Dec 18, pm. Thanks everyone for the input and advice! I typed out a reply after I looked at the Liberty over the weekend, but apparently I never hit the "post" button! From the outside the Liberty was in great shape for a , mile vehicle! I can't imagine that they would ever come clean. Windshield had some pretty good size chips, but no spreading cracks.
Started up quickly and easily, idled nicely. For some reason while sitting at idle in 2WD mode the dash was showing "Part Time" - so I pulled it up into 4HI, the display went blank - pulled it into 4LO and display stayed blank After fighting with it a bit I got it back down into 2WD. A Check Engine Light came on almost immediately after startup - but I hadn't brought along my code puller so I don't know what it was showing.
The test drive was uneventful. I put it into 4HI again during the drive, encountered some clunking when I tried to turn at a light in 4wd - it went away when I put it back into 2WD and made a similar turn again.
I remembered that happening in another 4WD vehicle I drove in the past. Reviewing the paperwork I found out that the radiator was around 1 year old, tires were around 1 year old, transmission had some work about 2 years ago, all fluid changes were done on schedule I did however take my sister's Patriot 4x4 out for a drive this morning, and ended up agreeing to buy it as soon as she picks up her Cherokee sometime next week. She gave me a heck of a deal - so it was impossible to pass up!
So I am still joining the Jeep world - in a wimpier Jeep than I intended to Thanks again for the input everyone! Posted: Fri Dec 19, am. The most common issues for the Jeep Liberty were:. The front ball joints have been very problematic, leading to multiple recalls from Jeep that stretch over multiple years. This list is based on both official recall information and consumer data:. Some issues are obviously much more serious than others, however. At 14, miles approx. I had to replace a heater core than was improperly manufactured.
It had never sealed in the factory. I still have the part and was wondering if this had become an issue with other Jeep vehicles. It produced film on the front windshield and we were breathing in toxic coolant. I have K and counting on my The only reason I keep the thing around is the Lifetime Powertrain warranty. Rust has all but taken over the underside, just replaced the rear upper trailing arm due to corrosion. It will only be a matter of time before it eats something structural and has to be sent to the junkyard.
