When does some hard driving start to really hurt a car?

I looked at buying a few ex police vehicles a few years back, straight from the cops to that dealer on parramatta road

First was a bf xr6t, had around 40,000km on it, interior looked like they had let a wild dog in the car and chewed up everything, trim was in poor condition. Driving it the front suspension was all clunky and the steering felt off. Had a few scrapes and bits that had been repaired on the outside.

I thought well maybe it was just a rough car so took out the VE ss copper parked right next to it, again 40,000km. No better than the bf, just completely destroyed. I just don't know what the coppers do to them. You would expect that sort of wear on cars with 300,000km. 1 police km = 7 civilian km with respect to wear.

There are members on here with cars that have km nearing 200,000km and the car feel beautiful n tight. It's because they don't treat them like rally cars every day.

The interior in them is always crapped up, seats damaged from cops belts, damaged trims when they're built by butchers who tear everything apart, holes in the dash everywhere from things secured with self tappers etc.

They can go further than 40,000km, believe me, at least 100,000km and maybe you'd be thinking of a replacement.

Next thread prediction...
Do suspension and bushes wear out faster if you drive on bumpy roads than on smooth roads?

Second next thread prediction...
Will motor last longer with oil in sump versus a motor lasting without oil in sump
