• Citroen C Zero - Hidden High Costs of Owning an Electric Vehicle 8 Dec 2019 (Forum)
    Too old at 6 years surely being electric the vehicle should last longer than a diesel or petrol car. Our last car was a diesel and we had this for 14 years and did over 150,000 miles in it and the engine was still fine when we got rid of it.

• N/A - Car scrappage – the French way 5 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  As part of a “Climate Plan” the French government has launched a scrappage scheme for older vehicles to encourage motorists to trade up to newer cleaner replacements. Your old car or van must have been registered before 1997 for petrol vehicles, and before 2001 for diesel vehicles … so probably not taking too many BR readers' cars off the road  The vehicle you trade in must be registered in France, and have been owned by you for at least one year.
• VW Passat 2.0 TDI Estate - Buying a high mileage (+30k/year) VW diesel? 23 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  Is the old adage about German diesel's true? That assuming the FSH is genuine these engines are more than capable of running up huge miles without any problems. Would you be concerned that the car's been doing +30k miles a year?

• New Lada - 43 years young 10 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  My dad had a 1987 one and in many ways it was a good car, paid £850 for it at four years old, and it lasted another 6. In a world when every new car including Kias is perfect, it is refreshing to know that there is still some truly awful cars being made outside of America!
• Height Barriers 23 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Also I have noticed since we have come back to the south how car parks have shrunk at beauty spots. The car park at Chesil Beach was huge, and when we were kids we stopped there one night in a camper, now it is a tiny car park with pay and display meters, and is the same almost every where.

  http://tinyurl.com/ez8rx - fetched £2,100 last night. OK so it has only 27k miles, SH, and is in close to new condition, but that much for an 11 year old car? Does the panel agree?
• Re-test? 12 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  If cars need a test at three years old, and every year thereafter, why do drivers, including and particularly PSV/LGV, get to go for ever (unless they have a major driving conviction/medical condition) without a re-test?
