I would guess that the mechanical parts will hold far better than cheap plastics and (not cheap) electronics (not talking about Ford B&O audio 
). While the electronic components for the automotive industry has the most stringent and rigorous requirements there are always parts which can easily fail if used wrongly (or abused). The problem is that with an advanced computerization only very few parts are still purely mechanical. The other problem (for the longevity) is that you can usually replicate the mechanical parts for very old machinery relatively easily, it becomes almost impossible for the computer parts when the documentation, or the software, or even the electronic components themselves are no longer available.
