Tarka was built, according to the build book, on 3rd July 2013.
So this July the car will be 7.
Nothing of note has gone wrong that cost more than a few hundred pounds to fix. Consumable and wear items have been less than expected.
The highest costs have been associated with "improvements and upgrades"...
10 year old cars are common, 20 year old cars are not exceptional.
Our last Mercedes was 7 when we got rid of it, only because I felt that a 2011 car with a 3.5L turbo diesel wasn't something to keep. But the car never went wrong and cost us little. It is probably still running...
What will a 7 year old Tesla, or any other EV, be like?
We all know that electrics are the achillies heel of modern cars so .......
