The on-condition is an interesting point, but could be a case of grandpa’s axe in many cases. It does sound like a bloody long time though, only 16 years over 12 year calendar life.
I think the 12 years was an arbitrary number plucked out of thin air as an arse covering exercise to stop litigation. I would be more nervous flying a brand new engine than an older, well maintained one.
