Mend the Old

Ren runs up: the average car on American roads is thirteen years old now, a record; 12.8 last year, 12.6 the year before. Granny Ume: eight years, when I was young, or so the post says. Mio: why keep them so long? Granny: when the new is dear, you mend the old; high prices for new and used cars keep owners paying for upkeep instead. Poko: Poko is older.

The average car on American roads is about 13 years old, a record, up from 12.8 years in 2025, because high prices for new and used cars lead owners to keep repairing what they have rather than replace it.
