High horse? Doesn't impact on the car's driveability? I have to disagree. If the vehicle would fail an MOT then it is not considered roadworthy.....so whether it cost 1k or 100k it doesn't matter....customers have a right to expect to receive a roadworthy car from a manufacturer/dealer that complies with current legislation....and for 60k of hard earned cash I think it is the least I should expect.
And has been mentioned in an earlier separate post: if you knowingly drive a vehicle that you believe to be faulty on the road it will invalidate your insurance.
No it doesnt impact on the cars driveability unless you are fond of handbrake turns
and the MoT is not needed for three years. Nobody is suggesting that the car should be delivered with a faulty handbrake but IMO the issue of snow blowing into the car ( or rain blowing onto a drivers lap)is a much more serious safety issue and one that wouldnt come up in an MoT. How distracting is it likely to be to have a snowstorm inside the car?
I doubt the insurance argument. The question would only come up if the handbrake quality lead to an accident. Despite people's prejudices, you dont get insurance companies hunting all over a crashed vehicle to find some irrelevant fault on which to refuse a claim.
