A repair would never be economical on parts alone, forget the labour.

Our microwave packed up last year and our first thoughts were to rush
out and grab another. But we've found we've coped pretty well without
one. Plus I never liked standing near the bloody thing when it was on.

We've never had one and I can't say that I've ever yearned for one. I
don't
know what they're for!

Cooking frozen green vegetables

Don't use them.

and Christmas puddings (on both of which
they do a far better job than panfuls of water on a hob)

Even if I believed that - once a year??? Come on!

and part-cooking
jacket potatoes to get the job done quicker.

They're done with other things in the oven.

I also use ours for reheating
leftover Chinese/Indian takeaways, but I suspect that's an acquired taste.

I cook Indian and Chinese occasionally. There are never any leftovers. Nor
of any other kind of cooking.

So you use it for frozen vegetables, Christmas puddings, part-cooking
potatoes and reheating leftovers.

Hmm.
