Agreed - they're such a great and all-round good car, not worth changing IMHO. Until rust or mechanical or emissions law says otherwise |

It’s refreshing to see the top five are all 2.7’s👍 Not as unreliable as some people seem to think? Steve

15 year old vehicles driven a decent number of miles a year should be reasonably reliable. You can't factor for the (realistically) low risk stuff such as the 2.7 spinning its main bearings or the 3.0 snapping its crank or the 3.6 blowing a turbo, so it's a bit silly to worry about them. Driven and serviced correctly, any modern vehicle ought to be able to do big miles. 
The top of the list RRS are averaging 20-25k a year. That's not silly mileage (unless you add up the fuel costs!) really. My TDV8 did 30k+ a year for 3 years and it was at its most reliable in that period, I think. These beasts just like to sit doing lots of miles. They don't like being left standing all week and then doing 5 miles each way to the supermarket on a Saturday. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

My mate in Somerset can't understand why I don't sell my RRS and get something "reliable". I tell him that my car is my hobby and so I can spend money on it. The other day he even suggested that, as I liked the car so much, I would have been better off buying a new one. Well, as I like playing with spreadsheets, I reviewed the one I keep all my costs of ownership on (the fuel cost represents some 53,000 miles (25.1mpg)):

Depreciation is the killer, its why I never buy new, or even nearly new. My vehicle has already lost over 50% of its purchase price so someone has taken a big hit.

It depends how long you buy a car for. I tend to buy and keep for a long time, current one is 8.5 years. £18500 new, worth now £3500 if I take the "bits" off. Roughly £1750pa depreciation. Add to that £1500pa maintenance and that's £3k pa or £250 a month cost. IMHO RFL and cost of fuel don't really count as you'd be using that more or less on another car or even if you allowed £50pcm extra then that's still only £300pcm/£3600pa in real terms for a prestige car or 39ppm Still drives lovely even if looking a bit tired in places
