In 2016, at the southernmost tip of Africa, 74-year-old Gerhard du Toit reached the milestone of 1.7 million kilometers (1.05 million miles) in his 1997 Isuzu KB single-cab pickup truck. Affectionately nicknamed Roadrunner, the truck was purchased by du Toit from his brother shortly after his retirement, at which point it had only 4,350 miles on the clock. Post-retirement, he set up a delivery business, which resulted in racking up a million miles over 15 years. Du Toit claimed that the truck had never had a major issue but made sure to service it every 6,000 miles.
It’s unknown how many more miles the truck has racked up by now.
