What’s the 2006 Nissan Murano's life expectancy?
My mom’s trying to decide whether it’s time to trade in her old car or keep driving it for another couple of years—if she can even get that much time out of it. What’s the 2006 Nissan Murano’s life expectancy?

Deciding when to
trade in
an older car is a bit of a balancing act, but we can give you some insight on whether or not now is the time to do it. If your mom has driven the average annual mileage for American drivers, then her 2006 Nissan Murano
has well exceeded the model’s average life expectancy of 200,000 miles. On the other hand, if she drives very little, she might have quite a bit of time left to drive the Murano without any major issues. It depends on how much the car has been driven, as well as what kind of maintenance and driving it’s been subjected to over the years.
Here are a few things that factor into how long your mom’s Murano will last:
- Maintenance: Did your mom stick to a regularmaintenance schedule? Routineoil changes,tire rotations, and inspections will help the car last longer. But failing to get these services done on a schedule can cut any car’s lifespan dramatically.
- Driving style: Smooth and steady driving is best for a car, but regular periods ofaggressive drivingcan cause undue wear and tear on the engine and other components.
- Quality of parts: Has your mom had any work done on the Murano? If so, did she spring for OEM parts, or were cheaper, aftermarket parts used? Not all aftermarket parts are bad, but cheaper ones are more likely to break.
- Accidents: Even seemingly minor accidents can cause damages to a vehicle that could shorten its longevity.
Evaluating these factors should help you decide when—or if—it’s time to trade in mom’s old Murano.
