My '88 Voyager - a vehicle that was not particularly known for reliability - lasted 15 years and 180,000 or so miles before I sold it to the next owner. The least reliable part of it was the Japanese 3.0L engine. My current ride, a Dodge Ram 2500 turbo diesel, typically goes 400,000 miles between overhauls.
