Cars are not too bad now, here in the UK. My last few have managed 200K. It is the salt that is spread on the roads during our winters that kill them. For 6 months of the year it is like driving in the sea! At least now manufacturers of cars bound for the UK take appropriate measures. When the Japanese first started importing cars into the UK they rusted through within three years.
A mate brought an old car over from Australia, and when he took it for its MOT test the tester asked if it came from the moon! Unfortunately the rot got it as soon as he started driving on our roads.
