Do keep in mind that in Europe there are often required checks whether a car is 'roadworthy', in Norway this seems to be a biannual check: so you cannot really skip maintenance to the extent that that would be a huge factor.

That is a good point but that only is for the mobility of the car, they don't check if the motor is going to be running properly in 5 mins. So if the alternator dies, it's not like they checked it. They're making sure the car is safe to basically drive and crash. Rust and proper suspension and brakes/tires.
