Better With Age. New Demand For Used Car Parts.
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010A Department Of Transport survey today revealed that there has been an increase in the age of cars still on Britain’s roads.
The rise has been put down to the increasing amount of people who are maintaining their vehicles and servicing them with new parts rather than trading in for a new model.
The statistics show an increase from 6.6 years in 2007 to seven at the end of 2009.
The Post Office have also revealed figures which show that nearly half of all car owners have avoided replacing parts on their vehicles in a bid to save money, which could potentially invalidate insurance policies.
As such Post Office warned driver not to cut corners when repairing their cars, saying:
“With so many UK motorists failing to properly maintain their vehicles and with the average age of cars rising, we remind motorists that overlooking wear and tear could affect car insurance policies.”
