I measured a ~20 year old cheap fridge, and it was about the same as a
current 'a' rated one.

Interesting!
What were the models you did your measuring on and what were the
results?

Sorry, I don't remember the model.
It was one that was picked up from the tip - as a temporary place to
store stuff, compared to published figures.

So you did your own research over period of a week that showed a
fridge that someone had chucked out, and which you established was 20
years old, was as good as the best of the new ones and you dont even
remember which model it was...

Who would see a heap of dirty old fridges, rusting outside at the
council tip, and think "I'll take one of these home to store things
in"?

I bet you dont remember what you used to do the measuring.
