*Important: Banks do not offer title loans. This comparison reflects vehicle eligibility for traditional bank auto loans (not title loans), based on industry sources including Kelley Blue Book and Bankrate (2025). Typical bank auto loan requirements: vehicle 10 years or newer, under 125,000 miles, minimum value ~$6,000. Title loans are a different product with different terms, costs, and risks.

What the Data Shows

Year-over-year data reveals a growing share of high-mileage vehicles being financed through title loans. In Q4 2025, 53% of vehicles had over 125,000 miles, up from 49% in Q4 2024.

These vehicles fall outside the parameters that banks typically require for traditional auto loans, leaving owners with limited financing options when they need emergency funds.

“Many people think title loan approval is based only on credit or car value, but the key factor is the ability to repay. Even with bad credit or high mileage, borrowers may qualify with steady income. The real risk isn’t denial — it’s taking on a loan you can’t afford and putting your vehicle at risk.”

Shir Amram, Chief Operating Officer, Montana Capital®

Commitment to Transparency

Montana Capital® publishes clear risk disclosures on its website, noting that title loans are a high-cost form of credit and that non-payment may result in vehicle repossession. Borrowers are encouraged to review alternatives, seek credit counseling, and repay early to reduce costs. Full disclosures: https://montanacapital.com/legal-disclaimer/
