* Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including oil changes, tire rotations, and addressing issues promptly, significantly extends a vehicle's life. Neglecting maintenance will drastically shorten its lifespan.
* Driving habits: Aggressive driving, frequent hard acceleration and braking, and towing heavy loads put more stress on the vehicle's components, reducing longevity.
* Climate: Harsh weather conditions (extreme heat or cold) can accelerate wear and tear.
* Driving conditions: Frequent off-road driving or driving on rough roads will cause more wear and tear than highway driving.
* Specific model year and trim level: Different model years and trims may have varying reliability ratings and build quality.
While some Chevy Blazers might reach 200,000 miles or more with proper care, others might experience significant issues much sooner. You'll find widely varying experiences online. It's more accurate to say a well-maintained Chevy Blazer *can* last a long time, rather than stating a specific mileage expectation.
