10 years is probably at the extreme end of the scale I’ll admit but not something I haven’t seen either. Also, please don’t think I’m saying that these cars “ need “ to be scrapped, they don’t. What I’m saying is that a lot of owners of these vehicles are not able/interested in repairing them at such high repair costs. This is not an option, it’s an observation from within the industry. Most of the components that I’m currently diagnosing faults with that have excessive repair prices are fuel delivery systems and/or emission control systems. That is the current nature of the beast.
