But surely based on that reasoning I could claim for new tyres, based on the fact that if manufacturers had stuck with the original tried and tested solid rubber design, instead of opting for pneumatic variants, they would have lasted the life of the car.........?
I'm not defending Volvo here, just trying to demonstrate that the reasoning is not as straightforward as it might seem.
