Let's be honest folks, most of the car manufacturers do not want your car to last. So long as it outlasts their warranties (which are often not what you think that they are) they will be happy to sell you another car to replace it! I've heard of some cars which have started to rust through and the warranty was said to be invalid as it was in an area where salt and road gravel could get to!!!
How many owners ever get under their vehicles to have a look? I often check sars for sale on the MOT check site and the number of "advisories" that don't get sorted between MOTs is shocking!
