I'd hardly class the New Ferry bypass as a motorway. It's barely a mile long with a speed limit of 50mph. Breakdowns occur any where and any time.

The only vehicles I can think of that were designed for motorway service and failed to perform were the coach-seated Bristol VRs in the early 1970s which were seriously prone to overheating.
