How many miles will a 2000 Expedition last?
The 441 mileages owners gave run from 50 to 315,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 61,898 miles, half at or under 91,000, three quarters at or under 130,000 and nine in ten at or under 166,928; 193 (44%) came after 100,000 miles, 72 (16%) after 150,000 and 14 (3%) after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2000 Expedition wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.

Common problems with the 2000 Expedition
NHTSA's file holds 890 owner complaints on the 2000 Ford Expedition. Owners named the electrical system most often: 214 complaints, and half of the 158 that list a mileage came after 96,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical System | 214 | 158 | 96,375 |
| Tires | 172 | 26 | 50,000 |
| Vehicle Speed Control | 124 | 66 | 109,000 |
| Engine And Engine Cooling | 116 | 70 | 101,000 |
| Visibility | 67 | 34 | 82,000 |
Of the 890 complaints, 55 report a crash, 199 report a fire and 37 report an injury (43 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Is the 2000 Expedition a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2000 is a good or a bad Expedition: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2000 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 890 complaints, the 2000 ranks 2nd of the 30 Ford Expedition model years from 1997 to 2026 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 1999 (946). The fewest: the 2026 (11).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2000 Expedition lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2000 Expedition.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 449 of the 890 complaints on the 2000 Ford Expedition give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: EXPEDITION. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: EXPEDITION.
