check when service is needed

[stuartm]

can you tell me what app tells me when the car was last serviced? i think i found an android app that did this?

 

I was told the car was serviced when i bought it from a main dealer,, it'd done 14500 miles then. it's now done > 20k but the car screen shows

inspection 16300 miles or 592 days

oil 14900 or 592 days 

 

questions:

1. i have paper saying it was serviced, was that true, can i check?

2. when does it need a service, how do i tell?

 

thanks,

 

Stu

You can not tell if someone 'Actually did the service',  you can check when the Service Indicator was 'Reset'.

Anyone can reset and do nothing.

 

So if they did service at 14,500 miles and reset on Flexible Servicing it should show as needing serviced 2 years later and 18,500-20,000 miles or whatever.

 

Skoda Approved Used cars are not always serviced before a sale if a service is not due or overdue.

Good if it wasand not just 'Workshop checks done'.

 

Maybe worth having a service done as a 'Fixed Service' if your annual mileage is not that high.
