How many miles do ACURA MDX's usually run until they start having problems?

I want to buy a used Acura MDX with 80,000+ miles and want to make sure it will last at least another 100,000 miles. I know the TL and RL generally last a long time.|||Acuras and Hondas last as long as you want to drive them and maintain and repair them. My wifes 1997 CRV has 196,000 and my 2002 RSX S has 135,000. Both run AS NEW. Her engine is a little noisy when its super cold until it warms up.





Old skool thought was v6's outlast 4cylinder cars because the engine is under less stress. So if properly maintained MDX should go until you get sick of it. My sis has a 02 MDX with 140,000 runs awesome. They did have the tranny repl under warranty though-thats the only problem Ive heard about the Automatic honda/acura in V6 is some had tranny problems like 1998-2002ish years.





To the guy complaining about the RL-if you get a car loaded with gizmos, sometimes they will have bugs. Ask any BWM, Mercedes, Audi. VW, Caddy owner about electricl bugs, they all have them. Fix it and move on-this guy is asking about real failure like engine/tranny.|||All acuras could last more than 200,000 miles. you just need to do maintenance before the 100,000 miles.





do Anti freeze flush, change the belts, oil changes on time every 3,000 miles I recommend you synthetic oil, change the brake fluids and power steering.|||Acura v6/v8 models do not last that mileage. The RL does not last that mileage. My mother's RL started to develop electrical problems at 40k.|||Should last a good 80k without any problems, 100k should be ok. Check the carfax, and make sure the car is in good condition.
