Morphology
The meaning 'a component or piece of a car' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'car' (motorized road vehicle) with 'part' (a distinct piece or component). This noun-noun compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Car part is a simple name for a small part of a car, like an engine, a brake, or a windshield. So when someone says car part they mean a 'component' or 'piece' that you can use to fix or build a car.
