What is expected lifetime of a car, and what happens when it isn't achieved?

Understood, but I still have an issue with a car being used in perfectly normal ways (short journeys etc.) should effectively expire. It smacks of being told "you're doing the wrong sort of driving".

If they need additional servicing, and certain parts replacing if they are driven in certain ways or service intervals skipped or whatever, this should be made clear.
