Possibly the insurance companies might deny liability for any claims if
the car has not been maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations? They're well known for trying any get-outs they can and
the courts generally find in favour of them due to the doctrine of
'utmost good faith' which applies to insurance contracts.


Do you know of any claims denied because the owner did not get an oil
change? Dirty air filter?

Not even for driving in the winter with bald summer tires. The
insurance company HAS to pay up - but they can make it EXTREMELY
difficult to afford insurance in the future - - - - - - - - - - -

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the position I set out is that under
English law and other jurisdictions will no doubt differ.
