Rebuilt? What does that mean-they do not tell you. As in a car, you can buy a rebuilt engine and install it. Properly done it should last as long as new engine. It is far more likely rebuilt golf cart means they do the minimum. Perhaps, a valve adjustment, belts,
clutch rebuild, a bit of cleaning some touch up paint and it is sold as rebuilt.
You can keep any machine running forever the question is does it make economic sense to do so? I tend to do a lot of reading. I used to have a boat. I read the life of an outboard was 1,000 hours and was concerned. I figured for me that was ONLY 30 years. I golf cart I read the engine life of the gas Yamaha is about 40,000 miles.
We use ours 12 months a year. We do not have an odometer just an hour meter
Rough guess for us about 12 years. We bought the 10 inch wheels and bias ply tires
after 8 years, they are about half worn.
