If there’s something wrong with your car, you might have a legal right to have the vehicle repaired or get your money back. This includes if it isn't of satisfactory quality, isn't fit for purpose or doesn’t match the description you were given. However, 'fair wear and tear' is a reasonably subjective notion - the dealer could be right in saying the clutch plate would've failed after 6 years (although, it's fairly low mileage) - in which case, you wouldn't have any rights against them. I would perhaps ask another garage for a second opinion, and if they say it isn't expected wear and tear on a car of this age and mileage, then you could ask the dealer to fix the issue.
