My Indesits lasted seven years, but now have a five year old Bosch needing

I can add a few more data points from dishwashers around the family
which I know of and in some cases maintain.

A bottom-of-the-range Creda is 19 years old, and still working perfectly.
It needed a new wash pump at 2 years old (drive shaft seal leaked, and
water ran back into the motor bearing making it seize). After replacing
that, nothing has needed doing for past 17 years, although I've noticed
some of the internal rubber hoses are looking like they're starting to
perish.

A Zanussi my parents had for, possibly 10 years, up to 10 years ago,
was on a maintenance contract and probably needed a callout about once
a year to keep it working. There would also be an urgent safety recall
about once every 2 years, requiring Zanussi to come and replace some
part, or wrap insulating tape around something. (More than one of the
recalls involved chafing of the cable bundle going into the door.)

Two Homark compact dishwashers. First lasted about 10 years and the
drain pump seized. I couldn't find a spare quickly, and owner
couldn't wait so it was written off. Second one is 8 years old and
still working fine, except it stopped heating at one point. I took
the controller apart, couldn't find anything wrong, but it worked
fine after reassembly. Also noticed the mains interference suppressor
on the mains inlet had exploded at some time, presumably when no
one was around. Looked like an after-thought anyway, possibly added
just for the UK or EU market, and remained connected even when
dishwasher switched off (but not after exploding;-). Good thing it
didn't start a fire.
