The biggest issue for me with keeping cars a long time is really safety. I kept my last car for 17 years, and by the time I got rid of it, it was really light-years behind modern vehicles in terms of safety features (no side air bags, no rearview cam, no anti-lock breaks, no collision avoidance systems, etc.)
It was still going pretty strong but vehicle tech advances rather quickly these days that after about a decade there is really a sizable improvement in safety.
