Most of it actually deserved it.

Ouch, that hurts. We did at one time have an industry that was highly prized, but we got complacent and let the world overtake us instead of making them play catchup.

The problem with being an early leader in something is that you set the standard for yourself on how (and how good) something is going to be made. (My favourite example is the piss-poor mains in the US) In the 1940s, all cars were high-maintenance. Because that was the quality and engineering level expected. And, in Rolls Royce, who could charge for the fettling, by skilled workers, to make rough parts reliable, it worked. Not so if you had a bunch of chavs, a tight budget and the idea of building a people's car.
Then, Japan came along. You could expect a cheap car to run 100000 km without much parts swapping, and only oil changes. Not oil top-ups from all the leaks. No greasing the suspension. No brake jobs until pads were worn out. And so on.
"How can you tell there's oil in a UK-made car? There's a puddle under it."

If you have errors, they come in 3 categories, 1,2,3 where 1 is "fix this, or", 2 is "fix this, and prove it within a month", and 3 is "You shall be towed." Shops can take out #2 if they're audited and hold a clearance to do it -- in principle, they are allowed to fix the error and report the fix to the authorities as OK.

Same here in Germany. But it is every two years and it costs aboutdouble. Measuring emissions through OBD-II, if your old stinker is not fitted with it, they are using exhaust gas emission measurements (mostly CO) and you pay more.
