So it's not so much the cost of the car... it's the NUMBER of small fiddly little things that can go wrong, and the cost of repair when they do. So more that keeping and running a car will become more and more expensive.

I think I said in another thread - we had to get new tyre pressure sensors at the last MOT at a cost of £125... having non-fucntioning sensors was considered a fail. My last car didn't even HAVE tyre pressure sensors to be not working and that was totally fine . Make it make sense.
