Think I've mentioned before - my indie mechanic has a client who has had a Volvo T5 estate from new and is still going.
No matter what the repair needed, it gets done. By doing this then his theory is that he will never be hit with a huge MOT failure list that will all need done at one time and that puts doubt in his mind over the economics of keeping it going. Owner apparently still loves the car, its practical, its known to him, the indie knows it and no individual repair cost is ever going to be dearer than replacing the car.
