These days its more likely to electronics that fail, often because of 
dried out electrolytic capacitors. Replacements are priced so that using 
them would cost more than replacing the car

Well BMC hasn't existed for over 50 years, nor has its successor British 
Leyland which included Jaguar and Landrover.

Currently these brands are owned by Tata and whist the build quality has 
improved, security hasn't and Range Rovers are almost uninsurable...

.. modern Jags seem as rust proof as any other car.
