None of my vehicles are ever at the point where things are falling apart. Makes no difference if they have 100K or 500K miles on them. I'm pretty good with maintenance. I often replace parts when they're still working but near the end of their life. All my diesels get the injectors and pumps gone over every 150K miles. I do it myself it costs me hardly anything but time. Sometimes if an auto-trans has high miles but works fine, I tear it down anyway and rebuild it. Doing it as a planned event is cheap. Much cheaper that letting die somewhere 1000 miles from home.
Brakes, brake lines, suspension parts get checked all over every winter.
I'd never get rid of any vehicle unless it rusted to death, or became extremely inefficient to drive or fix. No other reason that I can think of to get rid of a car or truck.
This van has no rust and runs perfect. Finding these bad bushings was part of my "winter check over". This van however, has many parts that are of very limited production and not so easy to find or fix. But, we load this thing to the max, drive 2000 miles at 65-75 MPH and it's gotten 25 MPG which I think is exceptional for a 3.8 V6 and AWD. It has 120K miles and I'm sure I'll be driving it when it has 320K miles. My 87 diesel Suburban just turned 530,000 miles (on it's second engine though).

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
