The Independent wrote Manufacturers' problems are compounded by the fact that milk floats last too darned long. Unigate says some of its are 40 years old, though they will have been rebodied a few times. At 40 miles maximum a day, they will be lucky to do 10,000 miles a year. Gliding serenely at 15 to 20mph, there is no particular reason why they should wear out. (From this article.)
