3. Graeme Hebley’s 1993 Toyota Corolla – 2 Million Kilometers
New Zealand, Graeme Hebley’s 1993 Toyota Corolla stands as a modern testament to Toyota’s reputation for reliability. Hebley’s Corolla recently crossed 2 million kilometers (about 1.24 million miles) with its original engine, transmission, and drivetrain intact. Used primarily for newspaper delivery, the car covers roughly 5,000 kilometers weekly, and Hebley services it every two weeks.
Aside from routine maintenance such as cambelt replacements (done about 20 times) and wheel bearing changes, the Corolla remains largely original and continues to run smoothly.
