Closest to BIFL car I can purchase in Europe?
My GF is driving Škoda Octavia with 500.000km on the clock. One day there will be only black holes, Toyota Hilux technicals and Škoda engines left in the universe.

In an age of things designed to be replaced, what currently-produced 1) trucks, and 2) cars come closest to BIFL?
No car is BIFL when not maintained. The majority of cars, if driven safely and carefully, serviced regularly (once per year for low mileage cars, 2x per year for high mileage cars) by a reliable mechanic, and cleaned regularly and carefully (including engine bay), will last significantly longer than 10 years. There are however some brands that will last longer than others even if the above is done. Brands I would personally be happy to own long term: Honda, Toyota, Ford (if they have a wet belt, stick to the replacement schedule or before), BMW, VW, Skoda, Mazda, Subaru. There will be other brands I haven't listed too, but that is off the top of my head. Some will also last longer due to simplicity, less electronics, availability of parts (popular car generally = more parts available), etc.
