What kind of vehicles are you using? I’m always interested in how newer model vehicles are behaving after so many miles. With the new tech like so many cars having turbos fleets are really the only chance we get to see long term reliability in a short time period after introduction

Super late reply, but the low mileage cars I mentioned were a 2011 Ford Ranger and ~2008 Ford Fusion. As far as my hypothetical ideal fleet, probably full of vehicles from Honda and Toyota. They have a strong reputation of lasting forever with just the wear and tear items.

I'm personally driving a 2010 Civic which just crossed 100k miles, and a 2009 CR-V with 140k miles. The Civic will likely be sold in the next few years pursuing an upgrade to safety while it would still have a ton of life left in it. It'll probably go to some high school kid who is learning to drive, and its end of life will more likely be due to a crash.

I just put money into the Civic for wheel bearings (likely needed because it sat most of 2020), transmission fluid, and brake fluid, and the CR-V checked out fine at its oil change. In ~75k miles, we have only done front suspension, tires, wheel alignments, oil changes, and a set of brakes on the CR-V. It spent a couple years in a town with terrible roads, which I point to as the primary reason for the suspension breaking.
