    I bought a service plan from AC 2 years ago and just had MOT/Service today.
    The car is 14 years old and just by chance, I was able to see all the previous MOTs on the car.
    I am concerned because out of the 14yrs, most of the failures are the same; tyres worn, coil springs eroded, anti roll bar ball joint issues, suspension issues. This has been the pattern most consecutive years, so last year, in my ownership time, similar story, although I don’t drive it everyday, in lots of traffic or rag it about. Anyway, I got the suspension fixed, coil springs etc… from a different garage. 
    Today, the advisories are YET again the same! I have paid to replace the two front tyres, but now coils, suspension and anti roll bar needs more money spending on it? In 12 months?
    I am reluctant to have the work done at AC, because of the reoccurrences.
    Is there a poor performance on this particular make of car, or is there something odd going on with AC and keeps putting these advisories same down, just to get more money out of the services? (The car has passed the MOT.)
    I am just also concerned about the MOT history, that the passed driver(s) ownership, is so bad. If I knew beforehand, I wouldn’t have bought the car.
    Just need some advice really.

    Hi. I recommend to go to another service  to make sure that the car is fine or on the contrary to check if it really needs service
