I drove my 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport everyday until 2018 so 22 years. Still have it but it's basically sitting up now. 140k miles.
Bastard left me sitting on side of road more than I can count and basically every part around the engine block has been replaced but still running.
Hard to kill the inline 6.

At least 2 that I recall. Maybe 3. I don't like car notes.

2005 Toyota Tundra, 205K miles (bought new) & 2010 Toyota Highlander 85K miles bought “used” from my parents who rarely drove it in their later years). The Highlander even has a OEM backup camera/monitor - 3 x 3 inches, LOL.
I’d drive either across country tomorrow without hesitation, but I maintain them.

I've driven a couple vehicles 7-8 years before major issues occurred. I've never gone more than 8 years of about 175k miles.

I got multiple corollas and camrys to 350k miles with minimal work having to be done on them.
I bought them at around 200k miles so I didn't own them for 15 years.

I sold my Oldsmobile Intrigue in 2015. The car was 15 years old, 229k miles. Bought it new because my GM card rebate took $6k off the price. It needed a new transmission at 79k miles, but after that the maintenance was pretty minimal. I was a bit surprised at what a good car it turned out to be. Oldsmobile went out of business in 2004 when the car was only 4 years old, heh.
I intend to drive my Subaru Outback for 15 years, at least.

My 2010 Ford Fusion is still going strong.

I had a 2003 Honda Element that was a fantastic daily driver. I sadly wrecked it after 13 years - so didn’t quite make the 15 mark.
But the car was solid. Had no major issues aside from replacing a fuel pump and an alternator. It drove well, was handy for hauling stuff for projects and got decent gas mileage.
I’d have been ok to still be driving it today had I not totaled it.

I'm getting there. 2011 M37x with just over 80,000 miles on it. Haven't had a car payment in years, very low cost of ownership, fun to drive.
Not mine but basically looks exactly like this.

I have a 2008 Sierra that has had minimal problems. It originally had the oil issue but the dealer fixed that under warranty. Since then I have only had to do pretty regular maintenance.
Off the top of my head I have done brakes, batteries, and alternator, timing belt. I just replaced all the wheel bearings and tie rod arms (didnt need it yet but dont want a problem).
I did have the AFM disabled after warranty ran out. That is supposedly a engine killer.
I dont drive a lot though (180,000 miles on it).
I also have a 1998 Z71 that I keep at the farm, it was my daily driver before the Sierra. It has about 340,000 miles but is well maintained.
Ill drive it until the cost to repair is more than a payment would be... I have friends who have $700-1100 monthly truck payments. That is insane to me.

I bought an older Accord last year.
Knock on wood, it's run like a charm thus far.
I average less than 1,000 miles per month. Need it to hold up.

Trust me, I’ve tried in both my Cherokee and Wrangler after I fell off into them 12oz too much. They’ve been the most loyal of any of my 4x4 “backroad riding” all these years. I’ll never sell them.

Almost at 200k on my 2000 TJ. It is a daily driver, but I don't have a long commute.

Honda Accord - bought new in '90; flooded by Katrina in '05. 289K miles.
I don't buy new vehicles any more.
