This is the question, as they are using wear and tear as an excuse I don’t think it would be covered, but I don’t think it’s reasonable considering the miles I have done.
With regards to the MOT, yes it was completely clean but again shouldn’t the rear seatbelt have been picked up in that?

That is an extremely good point, because brakes (for obvious reasons) would always be given a thorough check at MOT time - unless it is a "friendly" (to the dealer) testing station.

Brakes are not checked (as in physically removed to check). Just tested that they meet MOT requirements.
