Is it worth repairing a 10 year old washing machine?
Discussion
Our run-of-the-mill Bosch Classixx washing machine has started leaking a little from underneath somewhere. We bought it in 2005, it's served us well and we're now wondering whether to replace it or get it repaired. It wasn't hugely expensive when purchased and 10 years is a good innings but we don't want to be wasteful and ditch a good machine for the sake of what could be a simple repair. Which leads me on to...
Is it worth throwing money at it or is 10 years considered a good run? Would the engineers charges be worth it on something that old? Are they built to be a disposable item?

Thanks for the advice and tips.
I've checked the door seal and inner - they're fine.
Soap drawer is never used but we took it out and gave a much needed scrub.
Pipes at the back are all okay and I gave the filter a shafting (for want of a better word) with a flexible long handled brush.
This morning it all appears to be fine, or at least it was when I left the house. I suspect it was a blockage in the filter (it's never been cleaned).
