Low mileage and service intervals

Your car needs servicing every year or 10'000 miles mate.Whichever is sooner.So get it serviced to comply with that.

Some 2 year items are age related and not mileage dependent-and so far as warranty is concerned it is reasonable for Seat to set the schedule on a time/mileage basis if you expect them to rectify any faults. Otherwise they have no means of knowing if a car has been looked after or neglected.

I have experience of this. I have had cars that have got to the ripe old age of 5 years old with only 17-19k miles on them.

You need to get them serviced every year regardless of how low the mileage is. you also need to get the brake fluid changed every 2 years regardless. Not forgetting that you need to get the cam belt replaced after 4 years regardless.

It makes you think, my last car (Ibiza FR 1.8T petrol) had a cam belt due at 17k miles, my old mk3 Cupra had the 4 year service and cam belt done at 13k miles and before that I had a mk3 1.6 sport that was on only 8k miles at 2 years old.

I think my Leon will prob be the same although it seems that the PX price for a low mileage car isn't that much better than a normal mileage one. I think I'm going to get some more fun out of the leon and not leave it in the garage so much.
