With regard to the mot's most manufacturers will cover the cost of non "wear and tear" failures as most of the time your car is still under they're warranty albeit mostly by only a few days.

Hmm

Notwithstanding this, Bill Duffy, a trained MOT tester, says the majority of cars fail for faults that are linked to maintenance. As chief operating officer for Nationwide Auto Centre, a garage network that conducts 250,000 tests a year, he's had plenty of experience of testing cars.

"Nobody makes a bad car these days," he says. "It's very much down to the motorist and how they look after the car. Some of the vehicles we see are presented in shocking condition."

Longer service intervals and better made vehicles encourages some people to believe they need do little to maintain their car between trips to the garage, he adds. As a result, many owners don't realise that "their tyres are worn out and brakes are down to the rivets".
