• The prestige trap — why a £9,000 BMW still wants £600 brake discs, and what MOT data shows about German premium cars past 70,000 miles.
• Hidden costs — insurance groups, tyre costs on SUVs, timing belt intervals, and the diesel DPF trap.
• A step-by-step buying process — from checking MOT advisories to budgeting your first six months.
