My guess it will be the catalysts that fail first or a lambda bung gets damaged removing a failed sensor.

Steve,

What is the life-span of a catalyst (yes, it will depend on usage and shorter journey's will produce more poison)?

How can one tell if they are at the end of their life (sulphur/rotten egg smell)?
