Fifteen model years
15 years: age, not miles, is the gate

15 years old. At this age the model year on the title can matter more than the reading on the dash.
Two printed age limits
Endurance's FAQ prints 20 model years old or newer (endurancewarranty.com/faq). A 15-year-old car is inside that line. olive's FAQ prints 10 model years (olive.com/faqs). A 15-year-old car is outside it. The other vehicle service contract companies whose sites we could read on October 16, 2026 did not print an age limit at all.
Low miles, old car
A 15-year-old car with 90,000 miles is under most mileage limits and can still be over an age limit. A 6-year-old car with 160,000 miles can be the reverse. Neither number wins on its own. Put both on the quote and ask which one the company checks first.
The factory side
At 15 years, no factory term in our brand table is running. The longest is 10 years. Any coverage on a car this old is a service contract, and every word of it comes from the contract you sign.
Confirm against your VIN. The factory clock starts at first sale, not at the model year. Terms vary by model year, trim and market.

Alphabetical, not ranked. A printed limit is what the company says on its own pages; the quote decides.
Questions for the quote
- Is my car's model year inside your limit today, and for how long?
- Are parts availability problems on an older model handled in the contract?
- Does the plan cover diagnosis time, or only the repair?
- Who decides whether a failed part was worn or broken?
What to expect on your model
Mileage is half of it. The other half is the car itself. The advertiser keeps model-year pages by make and model with the factory terms and the questions owners ask. Those pages are theirs, not ours.
