A classic Ferrari dealer I know lost a court case and had to replace a clutch after 8 months and 3,000 miles. That’s a wear item. His argument was that the owner could have abused it. The judge disagreed.
I once acted for a company which hired out helicopters who tried to sue one of their clients claiming that he'd worn out the clutch on a helicopter by doing something inappropriately unpleasant to the drive belts, or something. We lost. Our expert witness was quite a character though, so we had a very interesting chat before going into court. #csb

Fun fact: Car warranties are all bollocks.
Regardless of what a dealer says they must sell you a car that is fit for purpose for a reasonable period. 3 months is not a reasonable period for an £8,000 car. 6 months is borderline I’d say.
