Plenty of time Mrs B!
Mrs Growster used to have a Fiat Punto from new.
It was so many years old when we decided to change it, that the garage couldn't get a price for it, so we agreed on £250.00...
But the really funny thing is, that when we'd taken it for its MOT, we found that they just had to pass it, but handed us a three-page list of 'warnings', and declared that they just couldn't fail it, because it was still OK!
That was during the recession, and hopefully, won't happen again... From new, she'd only done less than seventeen thousand miles, and it was an old 'V' Reg! Not a bad old car; did what it says on the bonnet..
I'm glad you're over that particular worry, it's always a concern, isn't it!
