There was a famous case, many years ago, when a man purchased a secondhand Jaguar with about 70,000 miles on the clock, which he wanted to take on a continental holiday. He informed the dealer of his intention and was assured that the car would be OK.
Unfortunately the car broke down, so the purchaser decided to sue the garage. The garage argued that you could not expect a car with 70k on the clock not to breakdown. The purchaser argued that you do not expect a car of that quality to break down and produced evidence that the car should last considerably more than 70k.
The purchaser won and the dealer had to reimburse the cost of repairing the car.
