They eventually wear out and die. If you were running super rich or super lean it would help it along to an early demise.

true, they just die man. from years of running the wheels off they eventually build up crap, and the o2 sensor can cause this because the car thinks its running rich or lean and that makes for some excessive build up. But **** happens and they just clog.
