Mum had a V454 but a later model in all white. I curbside collected it and with a new door switch she got a good 18months out of it before it stopped spinning. This was 18 months ago, so I assume it was around 10-15 years old at that point.
I dont know that it was a great performer it only spun after the 5th rinse, the rest were just high level water changes.
Mum never bothered turning it off at the Thermostat, she just left it on 40 and turned it on and off at the wall.
