How Long Will Youe New Car Last

The reason for asking this question is because of the recent declaration by the government that they will be giving £2000 to owners of vehicles that are more than nine years old. The reason they are doing this is to avoid pollution caused by older engines. Old vehicles cause a lot more pollution simply because of the fact that did not have the technology in the past, so that really leads me to the question of whether or not new cars are going to be made to last anymore?

The reason for saying this is because we all know that old cars last much longer then ones that are built in this day and age. So now that the government have announced their intentions can car manufacturers stop making cars that last? For one of two reasons really which are stated below.

First off they now only really need to make cars to last a decade as the government have made their decision to scrap any vehicle that is older then nine years old so make sure they create vehicles that will go for a decade without breaking down.

The second reason is really for the environment, is it really safe to drive a vehicle that is ten years old, we have all seen how fast technology is developing and in around ten years time from now we will probably have near enough to 0% of emitting pollution from cars. So staying upto date with the innovations in technology is essential.

The major downside that I can see from this is that most mechanics will lose out on business. With vehicles having a shorter lifespan so will a mechanics work.
