It's every three characters gains a D6 to roll for vehicles. The larger the group, the greater the number of dice which can be rolled individually (for softskin vehicles) or pooled together for a chance at an AFV of some type (usually something light but with a small chance of an MBT).
You're right I think that soldiers, while able to heal, can't be stripped for parts, therefore those vehicles not outright destroyed are likely to see combat again (if not as a whole, then spread across several other vehicles).
However, we can't assume that vehicles of 2000 are in any way the same as those at the beginning of the war. Take Wear Value for a good example of this. What modern army would allow vehicles of a wear of more than say 2 or (at worst!) 3? How many vehicles still being used in combat in 2000 can boast a wear of less than 5?
So, yes, there may be a large number of vehicles still on the books of a unit, but not too many of them are going to be spending more time away from the mechanics than with them.
