My question is, this shouldn't be caused by normal wear and tear, should it?

They replaced the valve cover just before I purchased and I'm wondering if it was mishandled or if this is normal.

bad coils can happen any time and for a variety of reasons. seems pretty normal to me. had to replace mine a month after buying with only 31000 miles at the time. also definitely a wear and tear item.
Had to get mine replaced at 50k.
