Modern engines

Gave my 2010 MK4 Mondeo to my parents at 10 years old with 155,000 on the clock. That had a cambelt change at 125,000 miles. It’s now 12 years old with 172,000 miles on, still on original clutch, injectors, turbo and EGR valve. It would have been on it’s original DPF filter but it failed it’s first MOT ever this year for a rust hole in the DPF filter - that’s not bad for a DPF filter on a car - 172k/12 years old.

Car previous to that was a 2004 MK3 Mondeo which I bought at 3 years old with 90k on, ran it for 5 years and sold to a mate with 168k on and it only ever failed one MOT in it’s life at 155k with a sticking rear caliper.

Nothing more than regular servicing and fixing the odd thing as it came up.

The days of most cars being end of life at 9/10 years old and 70,000-80,000 miles finished in the 1980s.
