An old vehicle is can be a difficult thing to get rid of. You tend to build a bond with something you go through many experiences with. This can easily be the case with a car. But eventually you will have to get rid of it, so when’s the right time?

A Sign that your car may be on the way out can include the fuel consumption increasing. As vehicle ages the engine does too. As a result it needs to burn more fuel to go the miles it used to. An expensive defect that only increases over time.

Another sign is the price of the yearly MOT check increasing. An older vehicle will have more problems and subsequent repairs. More repairs means more money to keep the car running.

When the repair bill for a car costs more than the price of a new car, this could be the time to consider a brand new vehicle. Most new cars don’t need an MOT for a few years after purchase, ruling out the pricey repairs the old car needed.
