Volkswagen Caravelle
| E6 Grong, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway | 22 May 2022 |
Still a relatively common sight at E6
Volkswagen T-series and Hiace must have won the most reliable late 90s van

There are still lots of T4 Transporters and especially MK5 Hiaces running on Finnish roads 
Ofc many of them have been eaten by rust, but engine-wise they are still going strong

If only rust maintenance was a bigger priority for most people they would live forever

Yeah. Sadly many owners of new cars don't really care about rust protection, since they are going to change their cars into newer ones after like 1-3 years.

Yeah. My moms 2021 SX4 might not be the prettiest car might not be the prettiest car, but I make sure to wash it when I can, especially in the winter under the car. I just don't want it to get rusty. I want it to survive, although on most new cars I don't think the rust is what is gonna kill the car, more likely the engines and its complicated machinery

That's how it should be done
I've been also wondering the same about new cars - how all those complicated three-cylinder turbos and plug-in hybrids will last?

One strange thing I've found from my almost 13.000-entriies database of regular plate cars spotted: There's almost a higher chance of one of the spotted 2007-plates still existing, than 2013-plates for example.
This is of course due to the exact reason mentioned above: modern car buyers tend to get rid of their cars after 1-3 years (many are now leasing, instead of buying)
But a 2007-plate is from a time before this crazy trend started, the cars are also getting old and most are/were owned by people who are not quite young themselves either.
So neither cars nor owners are part of the modern car-switching ratrace, and therefore the plates outlive the newer ones. Quite bizarre.
