Voyager 1 put Pluto in it’s rearview mirror many years ago. It has actually gone into interstellar space, no longer within the Sun’s gravitational field.

Well sometimes NASA builds stuff to self destruct. Having it last too long isn’t good.

Plus being in a zero g vacuum it's not exposed to a lot of the environmental factors that normally cause machines to degrade like rust and corrosion

The Voyagers were designed for this; your car was not. The Voyager 1 cost 250 million dollars back then; your car did not.

All that radiation, up shielded by our atmosphere...
Also, I'll bet NASA didn't build it, but specified it for contractors and subcontractors to build (Program Management).
