VC10 past its sell by date ?

I am told that the VC10 fleet is having big servicability problems and some aircraft are flying with a lot of defered defects some of them major items.

Is this because of the age of the aircraft or because of the comparative (with airline service ) lack of use that these aircraft get in day to day airforce service.

This leads me to ask the quetion of how was the servisability of the aircraft suporting the efforts over afganistan as these aircraft must over the short term have been working very hard.

And finaly what would be the prefered replacment for the VC10 in the opinion of the pepole who fly it ?.
