You're both right, the car market seems to be driven towards the lease/pcp model so they only have to survive 3 years or 60,000 miles.
That said, I am pretty sure matey wisely extended the warranty to 5 years though this had to be paid for separately. Probably a worthwhile move. Think I'd be looking to sell after four years assuming everything worked OK. I suppose one way to mitigate the hugely optimistic maintenace schedule would be to conduct oil changes at a far greater frequency. Does anyone know if the car's management software sets off the sound of a claxon if this is undertaken?
