The reason for asking this question is because of the recent declaration by the government that they will be giving £2000 to owners of cars that are nearly a decade old. The reason they are doing this is to stop 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 told their intentions can vehicle manufacturers stop making cars that last? For numerous reasons that are indicated below.
Initially they now only really need to make vehicles to go at least ten years as the government have made their intentions to dump any vehicle that is older then nine years old so make sure theymake vehicles that will go for 10 years without breaking down.
The next reason is really for the environment, is it really safe to drive a car 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 keeping up to date with the latest technology should be a must.
The only negativeness that I can see from this all is that mechanics may be missing out, because most of their work comes from fixing old cars that need to be fixed at monthly intervals. With cars having a smaller lifespan so will a mechanics careers.
