The problem here is that you have uncritically read an article from a fake news site.

Again, the legislation does not ban repairing vehicles that are 15 years old.

If a car needs a repair, any part may be changed as long as the vehicle is fit to pass the roadworthiness inspections and remains authorised to operate on the EU roads. In particular, the proposed Regulation does not prohibit the repair or replacement of the engine, gearbox, shell or chassis assembly of a vehicle.

'we can tell you when your car is beyond the end of its life' is not a power grab

The sentence you seem to be having trouble understanding is:

If a car needs a repair, any part may be changed as long as the vehicle is fit to pass the roadworthiness inspections and remains authorised to operate on the EU roads.

Let me know which of those words is giving you trouble, and I'll be happy to tell you which definition they have in this context.

I want to (or am paid to) misrepresent EU legislation to make it look like they're proposing a power grab of the rights of car owners.

You're wasting bandwidth with your bullshit.
