It's not clear cut at all.
Supposing someone doesn't do their own work on cars takes their car to a garage and garage says your exhaust is gone we can either charge you £175 or £75. No mention of a mod by garage but if you go the cheaper one you've then invalidated your insurance due to a mod lol
That's not a good look is it. But by what your saying that's a reality people face. Also the same thing can happen when people change a tyre brand but keep the same size. Or even using 5w 40 oil instead of 10w 40 that's factory spec.
I can say in my experience with insurance they show some common sense. For instance my ninja has a stainless steel exhaust system on it but to insurers it's not a mod even though by what your saying it is

Don't worry about what I'm doing, I want you to worry about what you're doing
