I suppose so....  If it wears out, it is wear & tear by definition- never mind how long it should last.

Isn't that a 'lifetime warranty'?  As in when it wears out or breaks then it's the end of its life

We are not well served when it comes to warranties, though. My son who lives in the USA bought a truck to tow his caravan, and the truck has a ten year warranty, excluding consumables.

It's not a manufacturer warranty.
Some USA Ford dealers are offering a 10 year / 150000 mile warranty on engine/transmission, but it's them doing it themselves through a third party warranty provider.
Like a dealer here offering you a free 'warranty direct' policy for 10 years.
So it's comparing apples with oranges.
No-one is doing a full manufacturer, whole car 10 year warranty.

If Land Rover offered a 5 year warranty they'd go under.
They drive well, look good and have status, but a good product they are not.

I'm always a little sceptical of these surveys anyway.
I can't help thinking 'customer expectation' comes into play a lot, and someone spending £45K on a Land rover/BMW/Audi is going to be more critical of minor problems than someone who's bought a cheaper 'white goods' car.

Well, yes. If I'd spent £45k on a car, I think I would have higher expectations, and be more intolerant of minor problems, than if I had paid £5k.
