A car can run about 600,000 kilometers. A car can run about 600,000 kilometers. For family cars, the general service life is 15 years or when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, it is considered scrapped. Driving precautions and maintenance tips are introduced as follows: Driving precautions: Develop the habit of fastening the seat belt when getting in the car. According to Article 51 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When a motor vehicle is running, the driver and passengers shall use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers shall wear safety helmets as required. Maintenance tips: Clean, tighten, check, and replenish. The air contains a large amount of dust, mud, and acidic substances, which are not only easily adhered to by leaked fuel but also can form a hard insulation layer under high-temperature baking, so maintenance is required.
How many kilometers a car can run doesn't have a fixed answer, but I believe it mainly depends on how the owner maintains the vehicle. With 20 years of experience in car repair, I've seen many vehicles that can still run after exceeding 300,000 kilometers, and the key lies in regular oil changes, brake pad inspections, and tire replacements. If you perform maintenance on time and avoid driving on rough roads, the engine and transmission will experience less wear. For example, Japanese cars like Toyota are designed with a longer lifespan and can easily reach 200,000 kilometers. However, if maintenance is consistently neglected, the car might start having issues at just 100,000 kilometers. In short, developing good habits is the most important factor if you want your car to last longer—don't wait until a major breakdown to regret it.
