Nissan Micra heater matrix leak

Hi group, I'm looking for some informed opinions as I do not really have much knowledge on this subject...

A local garage replaced the leaking heater matrix in my Nissan Micra. A few days after I got the car back, I had to take it back in because it wouldn't start at all. I was subsequently informed that the old leaking heater matrix had leaked onto the ECU and that I would need a new ECU.

Is it reasonable to think that when the heater matrix was being replaced, a competent mechanic would have noticed the leakage onto the ECU? I would not have got the heater matrix replaced if I had known there were going to be further problems. Or is this one of those things that there is no way to tell, and I have just been unlucky?

Regards Chris

Ask yourself what you'd have thought if the mechanic said "I know the ECU isn't causing any problems, but as there was a sign of water leaking on to it I thought I'd better replace it just in case - oh and that's another £xxx on the bill". I think that probably answers your question.
