A gearbox fails and the cost is the majority value of the car, easier to scrap and buy another.
We're gonna hit a balance point where newer Mustangs become more common on the road than FGX Falcon

That happened years ago. There are 25,000 Mustangs on the road, while there are only about 10,000 FGX. Mustang hit the 10k milestone in 2017.
As for the BA and BF, there was a point where well over 90% of taxis in Victoria were BA/BF Falcons. And there were about 5,000 taxis in Victoria in those days (more now). As there was a 6.5 year limit at the time, that means that about 700 Falcon taxis were scrapped and replaced each year, and that's just VIC...
