Back in the day I used to buy em with a few months MOT (usually dodgy) and Tax then scrap them, TBF though some of these we had for years usually the car the Wife used as it was usually a nice one, until I had company cars I always had the dogs with holes in the floor, the Sierra was around for about 10 years. Some of the company cars went after 2 years due to mileage.
