This really p****s me off about company cars, its such a wasteful policy to
throw away cars that are 3 years old.

They are hardly thrown away, they are sold and form the back bone of the 2nd
hand car market.

I reckon company cars should have a minimum life cycle of 10 years, maybe
20.

The price of relatively new 2nd hand cars would increase dramatically as would
the number of older cars on the road not very good for the environment. Forcing
all company cars to be sold after 1 year to a government agency who would then
sell them on in exchange for an older car (IE a 5 to 10 year old car is used as
a deposit based on say the black book price plus a grand with a government
funded low interest credit on the balance) this would help get the less safe
worse polluters off the road.
