Reaching a million kilometers or miles with your car is an impressive feat, rewarded by some car manufacturers.
Nowadays it is still quite rare to reach a million miles or miles with the same vehicle. Some vehicles are better suited than others to achieve such a number. And more and more manufacturers have decided to reward the drivers the most faithful to their brand.
The most generous manufacturers with their loyal customers
Maybe in your life you will not be able to reach a million kilometers on your beloved car. Don’t worry, it’s not a shame. Some manufacturers are known for the reliability of their models, others are less so. We can notably cite Volvo whose customers have almost the habit to exceed one million kilometers.
Moreover, this same brand has started to offer special badges to honor vehicles that have traveled more than a million kilometers. In addition to this initiative, they have even set up a “High Mileage Club” for owners who have exceeded 150,000 miles, or approximately 240 000 km.
But to receive these distinctions, drivers must deserve and prove that they do not have tampered with their odometer one way or another. So Volvo is implementing a inspection thorough review of the vehicle and its maintenance documents before offering rewards.
In the same vein, the German brand Mercedes-Benz also rewards its loyal customers in a similar way. They offer medallions to stick to the air vents of vehicles and certificates of recognition. These small initiatives prove the robustness of certain vehicles and also of meticulous maintenance owners.
Significant advantages and discounts

In addition, some brand dealers even offer benefits important such as discounts on maintenance for example. Recently, a Toyota Land Cruiser was recognized by the Japanese brand after having traveled more than 660,000 kilometers in just a few years.
For his part, Porsche offers badges, certificates and some discounts on maintenance. For every 100,000 kilometers traveled on a Porsche, the German manufacturer offers 10% discount on parts and labor. Plus, the discounts multiply as mileage increases. It’s a nice gesture when you know the amount of maintenance for vehicles as luxurious as Porsche.
