Tesla Model S](https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/tesla\/model-s\/)\n![Tesla Model S](https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png)\n\n- **10-Year Cost: \\$4,566**\n- **Annual Costs: \\$267 In Year One, \\$708 By Year 10**\n- **Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 8.6%**\n\nThe Tesla Model S transformed the electric car industry by offering a stylish, fast, and comfortable vehicle. Thanks to an almost 400-mile range and access to a nearly nationwide network of charging stations, it will go anywhere its ICE-engined rivals can for less money.\n\n## [6\\. Toyota Avalon](https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/toyota\/avalon\/)\n![Toyota Avalon](https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png)\n\n- **10-Year Cost: \\$4,407**\n- **Annual Costs: \\$180 In Year One, \\$787 By Year 10**\n- **Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 11.9%**\n\nThe now-discontinued Toyota Avalon is the Camry’s larger sibling and uses most of the same mechanical bits, including the V6 engine. It treats occupants to a roomy cabin, a serene ride, and Lexus-like comfort along with low maintenance costs.\n\n## [5\\. Toyota Camry](https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/toyota\/camry\/)\n![Toyota Camry](https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png)\n\n- **10-Year Cost: \\$4,203**\n- **Annual Costs: \\$160 In Year One, \\$766 By Year 10**\n- **Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 11.9%**\n\nLow operating costs and reliable long-term operation are hallmarks of the mid-size Toyota Camry. It’s one of the few models in its class to still offer a V6 engine as an alternative to the base four-cylinder.\n\n## [4\\. Toyota Prius Prime](https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/toyota\/prius-prime\/)\n![Toyota Prius Prime](https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png)\n\n- **10-Year Cost: \\$4,098**\n- **Annual Costs: \\$164 In Year One, \\$736 By Year 10**\n- **Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 11.2%**\n\nThe PHEV version of the Toyota Prius hybrid bridges the gap between gas-only and full-electric cars. It will run on battery power for the first 25 miles before switching to hybrid mode to return an estimated 54 mpg in combined city\/highway driving.\n\n## [3\\. Toyota Corolla](https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/toyota\/corolla\/)\n![Toyota Corolla](https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png)\n\n- **10-Year Cost: \\$4,087**\n- **\\$148 In Year One, \\$755 By Year 10**\n- **Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 11.9%**\n\nA perennial favorite among practical car shoppers, the Toyota Corolla may not be especially flashy, but it gets the job done efficiently and reliably.\n\n## [2\\.

It also rewards owners with affordable maintenance and repair costs.\n\n## [1\\. Tesla Model 3](https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/tesla\/model-3\/)\n![Tesla Model 3](https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png)\n\n- **10-Year Cost: \\$3,587**\n- **Annual Costs: \\$169 In Year One, \\$610 By Year 10**\n- **Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 8.6%**\n\nSmaller than the Model S, the Tesla Model 3 offers the lowest overall expected maintenance and expect repair costs of any car on the market today. Most scheduled service visits involve little more than a tire rotation.\n\n### FAQs\nWhat Car Brand Is The Cheapest To Maintain?\n\nToyota and Honda have typically been among the cheapest brands to maintain, but many models by Nissan, Mazda, and Mitsubishi have low repair costs as well. Among premium brands, Lexus and Tesla are at the top of the list, with good reliability scores and a lower cost of ownership than average.\n\nWhat Car Lasts The Longest?\n\nThe Toyota Sequoia and Toyota Land Cruiser have the longest predicted life span, with many vehicles lasting 300,000 miles or more.\n\nHow Long Will Most Cars Last?\n\nMost cars will last more than 200,000 miles with proper maintenance, with some vehicles reaching 300,000 miles or more. The average age of a passenger vehicle in the US is about 12 years old.

We’re not talking about cheap cars in the traditional sense, like a penalty box on wheels. Long gone are the days when the most basic cars were equipped with manual crank windows, rubber floor mats, and no air conditioning.\n\nInstead, we’re talking about good, cheap cars. Cars that cater to your wants and needs, go about their business, and ask little in return except for oil changes and infrequent maintenance. The list includes small economy cars like the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Versa, and Mitsubishi Mirage, but it also includes a handful of Teslas, a Lexus, and even the sporty Toyota Supra.\n\nTo compile this list, we gathered data from *CarEdge* on the vehicles with the lowest maintenance and repair costs. This data included information like the estimated annual and 10-year costs and the likelihood of needing a major repair. Then we ranked the list by the cheapest average total 10-year maintenance cost to get the top 20 cars.\n\n## [20\\.

It’s roomy and comfortable with good fuel economy from either the standard gas-only or optional hybrid drivetrain.

Meta Title	20 Cheapest Vehicles To Maintain And Repair
Meta Description	Three of Tesla's four models are among the 20 cheapest to maintain and repair over 10 years of ownership, but there are reliable cars at every price point too.
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	There is a lot to be said about good, cheap, reliable cars. We’re not talking about cheap cars in the traditional sense, like a penalty box on wheels. Long gone are the days when the most basic cars were equipped with manual crank windows, rubber floor mats, and no air conditioning. Instead, we’re talking about good, cheap cars. Cars that cater to your wants and needs, go about their business, and ask little in return except for oil changes and infrequent maintenance. The list includes small economy cars like the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Versa, and Mitsubishi Mirage, but it also includes a handful of Teslas, a Lexus, and even the sporty Toyota Supra. To compile this list, we gathered data from CarEdge on the vehicles with the lowest maintenance and repair costs. This data included information like the estimated annual and 10-year costs and the likelihood of needing a major repair. Then we ranked the list by the cheapest average total 10-year maintenance cost to get the top 20 cars. 20.

We’re not talking about cheap cars in the traditional sense, like a penalty box on wheels. Long gone are the days when the most basic cars were equipped with manual crank windows, rubber floor mats, and no air conditioning. Instead, we’re talking about good, cheap cars. Cars that cater to your wants and needs, go about their business, and ask little in return except for oil changes and infrequent maintenance. The list includes small economy cars like the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Versa, and Mitsubishi Mirage, but it also includes a handful of Teslas, a Lexus, and even the sporty Toyota Supra. To compile this list, we gathered data from CarEdge on the vehicles with the lowest maintenance and repair costs. This data included information like the estimated annual and 10-year costs and the likelihood of needing a major repair. Then we ranked the list by the cheapest average total 10-year maintenance cost to get the top 20 cars. ## [20\.

Readable Markdown	There is a lot to be said about good, cheap, reliable cars. We’re not talking about cheap cars in the traditional sense, like a penalty box on wheels. Long gone are the days when the most basic cars were equipped with manual crank windows, rubber floor mats, and no air conditioning. Instead, we’re talking about good, cheap cars. Cars that cater to your wants and needs, go about their business, and ask little in return except for oil changes and infrequent maintenance. The list includes small economy cars like the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Versa, and Mitsubishi Mirage, but it also includes a handful of Teslas, a Lexus, and even the sporty Toyota Supra. To compile this list, we gathered data from CarEdge on the vehicles with the lowest maintenance and repair costs. This data included information like the estimated annual and 10-year costs and the likelihood of needing a major repair. Then we ranked the list by the cheapest average total 10-year maintenance cost to get the top 20 cars. ## [20\. Nissan Altima](https://www.motor1.com/nissan/altima/) ![Nissan Altima](https://cdn.motor1.com/images/static/16x9-tr.png) - 10-Year Cost: \$5,561 - Annual Costs: \$196 In Year One, \$1,034 By Year 10 - Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 16.4% The mid-size Nissan Altima sedan offers decent performance and a roomy cabin with the automaker’s comfortable Zero Gravity seats.

It remains cheap to buy and own, making it a good fit if you'd rather have a traditional trunk instead of a hatch. ## [11\. Honda Civic](https://www.motor1.com/honda/civic/) ![Honda Civic](https://cdn.motor1.com/images/static/16x9-tr.png) - 10-Year Cost: \$5,245 - Annual Costs: \$183 In Year One, \$977 By Year 10 - Chance Of Needing Major Repair: 15.6% Redesigned for 2022, the compact Civic is offered in sedan and hatchback models that run from basic to sporty.
