Large amounts of spare parts made? Manufacturing process? Design differences?

Let me give an example. Volkswagen built a van named LT type 2 back in late 90’s and early 2000’s. It had a forged engine block and could see a million kilometers with ease. It did not give critical faults or the engine didn’t blow up easily. That meant no gain from the engine repairs. They stopped the production of LT and produced the new beautiful Crafter with aluminum engine blocks. Guess what, their blocks started cracking on every 500 or 600k kilometers. This might just be a conspiracy theory against VW, but seeing the professional drivers complaining with my very own eyes proved somehow right those theories. That’s where Japanese cars show themselves. Not only Toyota is that reliable, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi and other variants are also quite reliable brands.
