First Service

[John1964]

Hi my first service is booked for 12th October earliest my dealer could fit me in around my work commitments trouble is I will be appropriately 700 miles over the 10,000 will this invalidate my warranty?can I also ask what's included in this service.

Expensive oil change.. Air and pollen filter if your lucky and a general check up.

Yes, technically it will sadly. 
 

Toyota told me that the 10k limits are absolute now, there is no time or mileage allowance for going over. They did say that they would consider paying for any future warranty work provided it wasn’t related to the late service. 
 

I had to park my car up and stop using it until the date of the service to avoid going over the 10k mileage limit. 
 

it’s a pain, my last VW allowed up to a month or 1k miles overage of service intervals. 
 

it means I’ll have to now plan on getting the car serviced at 9.5k not 10k intervals so I have some allowance for last minute trips.

Similar with my previous Peugeot - also during the COVID lockdowns I had an email from Peugeot UK that said official service leeway was temporally allowed up to 3k / 3 months overdue.
