Can confirm the fridge part. I've got an ice box from the 1960s ("Made in West Germany"), inherited from my grandma that has been running flawlessly since then. I had an energy meter stuck to it some time ago, it's using less kWh than our brand new, low energy certified fridge.

With the right maintenance you sure as hell can keep a vehicle alive for a long time. My dad has been keeping a 2001 Toyota van alive for a long time and, as a non automotive inclined or really interested person, I find that impressive.

Without any maintenance at all you can keep a Toyota alive, practically.

I once heard from a mechanic of a guy who had driven his tacoma 750k miles without any repair above the complexity of an oil change. When his water pump failed at 3/4ths of a million miles he was complaining about it…

Meanwhile I replaced the water pump in my VW twice in the last 30k miles
