"The garage guy mentioned that these space-saver spare wheels are only meant to be used once and then discarded."

That's a new one on me I know there is a speed restriction 50mph but as far as I know there is no distance or re-usage restrictions, never seen any thing like that in the owners manual , even the AA web site says you can travel as far as you like at 50mph.

mind you traveling at 50mph on the motorway is a pain , after I had to do this for about 80 miles one night I replaced my space saver spare with a full size alloy.
