I'm inclined to agree especially on safety-critical items, but remember most of the second-hand spares available now would have been considered beyond salvation fifty years ago! I recall when I returned to Austin Sevens just a few years ago, wandering around autojumble stalls in wonderment at the state of spares on sale - most were in far worse condition than items I threw away in the 1970s.
