There was a time when snapped V-belts were a common sight on the

Mostly people are not running cars to as low a state as they used to.
The modern trend is to pay to have a decent car on tick of some sort,
and dump it when it gets to 70k miles or so.
Modern belts will do 100K + and are inspected as part of maintenance.
There is little point in owning a car worth under £500 these days when
tax MOT and insurance will be more than that...unless you are driving
without any of the above.
