I have only done 545 miles :o in my Corvette since last years MOT and so far garage is waiting for £1000 of parts from the USA.
They haven't given me a labour bill yet :(

6,500 miles in my X3 and it needed both rear springs, luckily selling dealer rectified free of charge.

35 miles on Honda DAX and passed with no advisories :)
