Is on the variable service regime, though it hasn't gone too long between services: 14/06/22 8,393 03/05/23 18,522 24/01/24 31,786 13/11/24 39,108 (interval service, what ever that means) and serviced now at 44k. So the extended warranty is actually Motor Assured (a Vertu Motors scheme, not Skoda), so possibly it is more lenient. It also states "You must ensure that Your Vehicle is serviced in line with the recommendations of the Vehicle manufacture." though it is not clear if that is after the policy starts or applies from day 1. I was also told the PHEV battery warranty is transferable, but I have read otherwise https://www.skoda.co.uk/_doc/148825d2-9edf-4ab3-b9e3-243bc38d8357 Whilst the car looks great and the Motor Assured warranty might be better than Skoda's, I don't think the battery would be covered. I doubt anything would go wrong but these are expensive components so doesn't feel worth it unfortunately.

I have reserved a Skoda Superb iV (2021) but while the dealer (Vertu Skoda Darlington) claims both the 1 year approved used warranty and the 3 year extended warranty he is offering (for £699) will apply despite the DSG service not being done at 40k miles. The car is at 44k now and dealer said they would do DSG service and spark plugs. I wanted to use the all in plan but it clearly states the car must be serviced as specified. Dealer claims the warranty he is offering does not depend on servicing. Does anyone know if this is correct or is the dealer just trying to make the sale and hope nothing goes wrong?

I have found 20 plate L&K for £17,600 but it didn't get serviced until 24k in 22, there after full main dealer service history. The excuse is COVID made servicing challenging but I don't think the excuse matters. I couldn't see anything in the "All In" servicing plan that would exclude me for using this. Does anyone know if I could still use this for extended warranty? Do you think this would be a deal breaker or think missing the first service isn't the end of the world?

Hope you don't mind me bumping this old thread. I am also looking at getting a Superb IV and had a few questions. Firstly I use speed limiter on my current car and love it, ACC sounds good but only on motorways. I've noticed there is no mode button on the stalk post facelift, is it easy to switch the mode and does it remember the chosen mode between journeys? I also wondered if the climate windscreen is a useful addition? I really like having one on my Ford Focus but with the pre-heat function via the app, maybe this isn't needed? I am surprised the reversing camera isn't standard, should I be looking for one or is the big car deceptively easy to park? Thanks all, this forum has been very useful.
