  1. Hello, I have recently purchased a 71 reg plate Skoda Fabia Used and Approved at 53K miles on the clock and I'm a bit confused by the servicing intervals. The car was on flexible servicing and has one previous owner and has the following Skoda servicing history with receipts: - Oil change and inspection: 1 year / 11k miles - Interval service : 1.5 years / 20k miles - Oil change / aircon / brake fluid: 2 years / 29K - Interval service: 2.5 years / 38K I asked for a fresh service prior to purchase which I assumed would be another full interval service as it needed fresh tyres as well. I assumed this was going to be done with MOT but they gave me an oil change / inspection and a brake fluid service instead. When I asked why they said this was in line with the servicing intervals for the car. I regret not pushing them on this , but there we go... I also asked to move to a fixed servicng servicing schedule which they have updated as I prefer to just get servicing and MOT done together so I can minimise time without the car. My question is does it need a full service as it is currently one year and 15k miles since the last one. Or will the above fluid changes and the multi point check sufffice? I expect to do about 7/8 k miles until next MOT which would put it to 22 k miles since the last one if I were to leave it til then. I don't want to risk it not having a full service history if I were to sell it in the future, and also want reassurance that it's all ok. The information online is very confusing as well and the service book just says do it when the light comes on which isn't helpful. I have previously just done my car annually in the past and it's been far less of a headache. This is the second car I've owned and have not had to deal with the quirks of modern cars. Thanks for reading any advice is appreciated!
