Not serviced every 2 years??

**cantfind1** · 26-04-2012, 04:57 PM

What's the deal with this? is it a problem?

Car basically has sat there and not done many miles so not serviced etc.

Obviously I am not bothered but why does this bother people??

Should be ok..It might be worth chaging the oil before you decide to drive it hard again.

I'd more concerned about a car that was stored long torm incorrectly.

It might affect the ability to put the warranty on if it's not serviced "according to manufacturers schedule". I think the schedule says it's got to be serviced every 2 years even if it's not done any miles.

As said above,it will affect warranty.

Ah well then yeah I am not bothered...car has already had HG and oil was changed then as well as coolant.....also no history of brake fluid changes but it has AP's all round so would have been done then..

also no history of coolant changes which is weird??

Although it is extra hassle I am sure if push came to shove a car with very few miles would stand a good chance of a claim being paid irrespective of it missed services. After all surely as dealers have access to the BMW servicing history, Mondial should not accept the car on the policy and therefore your premium if it does not fit into their criteria.

Worse case the claim is turned down and all the premium should be refunded. Not ideal for catastrophic failure but how many have -?

If the HG's been done the coolant would also have been done.

Its more to do with modial warranty and HG/new engine claims. In the fine print it says needs to be serviced every two years.
