Interesting analogy. Morticians presumably get calls when people are dead or dying in the forseeable future. But while a mortician can reasonably tabulate the causes of death that he sees, an actuary would be the right person to ask about your chances of dying.

In our world, the automobile actuaries are Porsche (though they don't share their results, you can perhaps infer from their actions), Consumer Reports, JD Powers, and so on. As far as I have been able to determine, not one of them has tabulated greater than "average" major engine failures on M96-engine Porsches.
