A question dear to my heart at the moment - what is the typical mileage life expectancy of a modern, petrol engined car? I.e. how long before it is uneconomical to keep maintaining / replacing broken parts?
The reason is, I run a 2001 model Honda Accord 2.0 petrol with 93,000 miles on the clock. The aircon just packed up, which I understand is very rare on this car, and will cost £600 to replace compressor etc., so I'm just thinking what sort of mileage the car is likely to last to, in order to assess whether it's worth spending the dosh.
I love the car in every respect, it drives very tightly still and appears to have been well maintained (apart from the aircon!) and has been totally reliable over the 2 or so years I've owned it. But on the other hand, there's no room for sentiment if I'm not too far away from max miles.
All views useful!
TIA
