REPLACEMENT RATES FOR MOTOR VEHICLE PARTS AND JOBS Replacement rates reflect the percent of cars that had the relevant part replaced or service performed during a year. Vehicle age has a significant impact on the rate at which different components are replaced. As vehicles grow older, replacement rates tend to increase but level off when vehicles reach the final years of their lifespan. For most repair and maintenance jobs, vehicles in the two intermediate age groups tracked (4-7 years old and 8-11 years old) displayed higher replacement rates than the other two groups (0-3 years old, and 12 years and older). Younger vehicles typically do not experience component failure to the same extent as older vehicles, while vehicles in an intermediate age ranges often require much more maintenance and repair as their mileage increases. Vehicles in the oldest group also need work, but owners tend to avoid non-essential repairs.
