If a vehicle is beyond its useful life, is repair to it banned?

An end-of-life vehicle is one that cannot be repaired. Once the owner receives information proving that his vehicle cannot be repaired any longer, then it becomes an ELV, and the owner must deliver it to an Authorised Waste Treatment Facility.

There are three reasons:

1) Environmental. This ensures that the parts that can be recycled or reused in other vehicles are recycled or made available to other car owners. It ensures the toxic fluids and materials are treated.

2) Economic benefit to car owners. To assist in getting good used parts to repair vehicles.

3) Legal. To make it difficult for criminals to sell a car out of parts from several stolen vehicles to hide its origin.

it's a power grab

What power is taken from the legal owner of the vehicle?

and I was right

The article says "EU Considers Banning Repairs On ICE Vehicles More Than 15 Years Old"

This is wrong. They are not considering banning repairs. The legislation does not apply to vehicles of any particular engine type. And legislation does not apply to vehicles of any particular age.

The only correct part of the headline is "The EU considers".

LMAO

Tee hee.
