Sure but also, ive then been driving the thing for nearly 20 years by that point, there are other considerations: safety developments / code, electronics, interior materials, rust, cabling/tubing that it might just be better / more comfortable / nicer to replace.
My Honda HRV is generally agreed to last 300k and up to 20 years. I will not consider myself ill-used if it makes it 75% of that.
Maybe even 50%. I buy new sofas, computers, phones, clothes, glasses, mattresses, etc. on a faster cycle.
Even cats and dogs as pets may not live as long.
If I ran a business off my transport maybe I’d feel different, but I’m not that fussed about a car per decade.
If you go to a Toyota group and tell them your car lasted 300k miles they’d ask what you did to kill it so early
