    The agreement says it should be after a year or 20,000 miles. Well its a year, but half the mileage.

    Still needs to be serviced. Cars that do low mileage actually go onto an abnormal service schedule because low mileage means either lots of short journeys or long periods stood, either of which doesn't do cars much good.

    I would love to do an undercover investigation into main dealer servicing of one year old vehicles. Attach discrete webcams and then send them in. I really can't imagine much (if anything) being done. Owner doesn't want a service, just wants a stamp in the book. Dealer quite happy to stamp a book for £200. It's just an oil and filter change really but nothing is going to happen if they can't be bothered doing it.
