often see things on mot history that I'd expect the driver to have fixed, bulbs not working being one

The MOT and warranty service could be the only time the car is looked at

I get all that, but if I spent £40k+ on a car (or anything else for that matter), I would want to take pride in knowing that it was in tip-top condition at all times.

I would be booking it in with an expert for a couple of hours every year just to make sure that nothing required attention.
