8 years doesn't sound like a healthy life span for a train. What's the flaw?

The actual train is >30 years old, it was only painted like that 8 years ago. (Probably repainted a couple of times too lol)

The 500 series Shinkansen trains were built in the 90ies so it would be more like 30 years.

It has spent 8 years in the Hello Kitty wrap, but entered service in 1996.
