I believe they will be replaced by the TAPV if and when they ever get delivered. The question then will be if the DND can afford to run armour in peacetime, or will try and maintain both fleets.

There are a few scrapped ones here in Shilo. They get written off when the door pillers get bent on a rollover, and are then held for cannibalization. By the time they leave, there is very little left, and they end up getting cut and into the scrap metal bin.

From my limited experience with them, they have a lot more electronics than a vehicle would normally have. I always prefer my military vehicles to be simple.
