Good to hear. I’m hoping for the same longevity.

Saw an article the other day the ten vehicles most likely to last over 250,000 miles. Nine were Lexus and Toyota models. .

That is amazing tell us what was your maintenance schedule with oci, oil type and weight,tires, brakes, battery and anything else done, any factory warranty claims?. Interested in your success
Continued good luck

Assuming you bought it Jan 1, 2019, that's 39k miles a year. Nice achievement but honestly most if not all modern car can do 39k miles a year without breaking much of a sweat so long as you change the oil roughly every 20k (for a highway driver) and btw we already know this powertrain has reached this miles a few years ago. there's a site i used to follow years ago that has this hybrid powertrain in the camry w/ fleet duty cars that show 200-300k cars a plenty. this guy does a blog where he works on them, services them etc. yep--this exact powertrain in the camry. he also has a video where he shows a ton of these a25a hybrid heads stacked against the wall where he replaced them. but you have to remember he's dealing with a large fleet of these cars. he said the ones he replaced had head casting defects in the exact same spot that show up in high mileage. but for the most part these should last 200-300k+ with good care.

Glad to hear. I got 56k miles on my 2022 and I know that's nothing in comparison but that's another reason why I chose this car over others at the time, the longevity. I know when I picked up my ES 300h, it would easily take care of me for the next 10 years.

It looks like most of the articles on this subject are derived from this iSeeCars article: The iSeeCars Longest-Lasting Cars, Trucks, SUVs and Hybrids To Reach 250,000 Miles and Beyond

To see how the ES and ES hybrid compares to other passenger cars, scroll down about three fifths of the webpage to find the "iSeeCars Longest-Lasting Passenger Cars 2025" table. The Lexus ES (hybrid) ranks tenth, and the Lexus ES ranks twelfth.

Toward the bottom of the webpage there's a paragraph on "Methodology"; however, "a proprietary model" is all you need to read to figure out their methodology write up isn't all that informative.

Surprising to see such a big difference (more than 20%) between the top IS and ES. Still, Toyota and Honda completely own the Top 10.

Nice! My 2019 ES350, with 95K miles, on a second set of OEM tires, a second set of brake pads, second battery, starts to have some strange noise that hearable from inside while applying gas, I think it's from a belt somewhere, will check with dealer on next oil change (7500 miles interval for me) soon.

My 2020 ES350 only has 11,000 miles on it. We use it as our secondary car. We've had ES's for the past 25 years. I love the 2020 and the terrific V-6 and want to keep it forever (the 2026 ES's won't even fit in our garage). So, hopefully it will last 250,000/11,000 X 5 years = 113 years. Fingers crossed.

Hope you get there ! Drive it some more the engine will appreciate it. How often are you changing the oil? For low use like yours short trips are not good . I do 5k or 6 months whichever comes first for my exclusive city use ES v6 and usually the 6 months wins

Not according to one of our members here who says every car these days will crap out when the warranty expires
