have I been lucky running the Astra for 7-8 years
A guess a fair number of cars make it 15 years old / 120,000 miles plus without handing out any huge bills.
My concern would be that a more modern car is more likely to suffer a fault that is costly to repair, as they are more complex and have more stuff on them to go wrong.
All just my opinion, (based on the cars i've run) obviously.

That’s caught my attention. Am I missing something? Obviously Petrol not diesel but should have a decent bit of life left in it surely?

Ah that’s interesting. I don’t mind having to drop [some] money on it each year, but have I been lucky running the Astra for 7-8 years? It only cost £3k, 7 years old, 56k on the clock. Had a couple of £500 bills, but has generally been really cheap, doing 10k miles a year.
