I paid £2500 for my car in 2012. I have replaced nearly, actually all, that you have and then some. Most was before it failed, as a preventative measure.

Yes, I do all my own repairs so it is parts only. My outer tie rod end was starting to wear so all 4 were replaced. I still believe that I have a better car than a 2010 Seat ( as an arbitrary example) and it will out last a car like that.

Take some consolation in the fact that you were neither ripped off nor unlucky, mechanical stuff fails eventually. A £10 000 car will still need tyres and brakes no matter what.
