First service and warranty

BoGoF

Bought my Qashqai 15/6/18 that was pre-registered 31/3/18. To ensure warranty conditions are met when should the first service be? 12 months from regiatration or purchase?

Thanks

look in the handbook, but I would think if service intervals are 12 months that it will be from date of first registration.

My car has a service indicator which alerts me to the fact that they believe a service needs doing. It takes into account both time and miles (12500)

I'd say reg date is the key, not the purchase date

I bought a pre reg in May 16, registered end March 16. Dealer told me on collection service was due every March or 10k miles, whichever was soonest. Assuming that follows standard format I’d assume you’d be looking at March for your service too.

Definitely from registration. It's one of the downsides of buying a pre-reg.

The warranty also runs from registration.

Pre-registered for 3 months. The dealer must have been relieved to offload that car. :eek:

Mine was prereg in July when I bought it in Nov for December delivery. The price I paid must have meant they wanted rid, I was happy with it.

Often a dealer will pre-reg 15-20, maybe 50 of an otherwise identical car. Its not unusual for them to take a quarter or longer to sell them all.

Autotrader lists 492 cars registered in 2018, with less than 100 miles.

... and 35 from 2017.

... and 18 from 2016 !

(OK, so some of those will have been wrongly listed by dealers who haven't actually put the mileage in correctly - but there can be some very old pre-regs out there)

I'm guessing this one is not registerable in the UK or EU due to the emissions being too high
