Plus, I could easily raise the counter argument that if I spend thousands on a machine, it better be reliable without needing to get serviced all the time
So I guess you never wash your expensive clothes? A vehicle is essentially a tool. And if a tool doesn’t get upkeep every once in awhile then it’s going to break. Why would anyone spend some people’s annual income on a tool and not treat it with care and give it proper upkeep so it lasts long enough to be worth spending that much money on?

I’m going to guess by here you mean Scotland (given your username). An MOT (annual inspection) is not a service. The inspection is just to ensure the car is road worthy. Oil and filter changes, for example, are not a part of it.

I do live in Scotland. And yeah, MOT just shows the vehicle is legally compliant. Could pass MOT and blow a piston the next day because it’s not had any oil put in for 10 years.
