Manifold Flaps

2002 Rover 75 2.5V6 SE Club Auto - 92K miles.
New Member looking for technical help and second opinion.
On acceleration car jerking, hesitant then sudden surge with loss of power. Took into my local service station who have done service, repairs and MOTs over the last few years - always seem honest and trustworthy. After free inspection and diagnosis, said it is to do with "manifold flaps" which are disintegrating and would not be financially viable to repair and while the car could be safe to drive for up to another year, it should ultimately be consigned to the knackers yard!
I have had car for nearly 15 years and would be grateful for any advice before I bid farewell.
