They are built to a price, to last ten years. If they lasted forever no one would ever need New One, so Ford would have gone bust, and you wouldn’t be able to get parts, so you’d have to buy a Vivaro.

So they haven't taken into account enthusiasts who like to keep their vehicles running N

If enthusiastically maintained from the off they never die.
BJT is a pessimist #cos he knows limp mode is round the corner, well he did score his latest chavvy one from a back street glaswegian gangsta, he's only spent about a grand on it and hundreds of hours faffing about since

It's what I've always done with vans, and some you win, and they cost virtually nothing to run, some you lose and they need lots of parts and repairs.
On balance you never lose as much money as you would suffering the massive depreciation that you have with new vehicles
