Lots of differing issues within the thread, 100k is not the end of the road for cars these days, quite often it has been the start of my ownership, back in the 70s many didn't make it that far.
I've bought several with over 100k on the clock and gone on to 400k with some, what is limiting their life span is the complicated electronics on them which are impossible for the layman to fix. I have a VW T5 van which is far more sophisticated than my T4 that preceded it but far more difficult/ expensive to fix.I now do about average mileage in all my (4) vehicles, 12 mths MOT and service on the van cost £1500 this year, the same on the Rover was £255!
