A: The mileage will most likely have to be documented, where service work orders that recorded mileage particularly for oil changes have to be verified. They won't exclusively look at the odometer reading to certify a million-mile car. I've never heard of Toyota having such a policy, but for a Toyota owner to contact a public relations agent with the company inviting them to verify a bona fide million-mile car it might result in such a premuim if they are impressed.

If you average 50,000 miles a year you'd reach a million in 20 years, and that's a lot of driving. If you have been using a synthetic oil like Mobil1 your chances are better however changing it whenever it's due is the key no matter what type of oil you use. If you live in a dry climate and protect the paint it won't rust. Basic care and maintenance will keep it dependable, if you reach a million miles in the same car before the wheels fall off of it consider yourself very lucky.
