Maintenance costs are hard to judge over time because they widely depend on the car manufacturer. You also need to take into consideration inflation, so the price of things 20 years ago is not equal to the current price of things. In general, though, modern cars have a 40% longer life than cars did 40 years ago so it makes sense that they would accrue more maintenance costs during that longer life span.
