I have this plan also.  I am currently wondering just what is this "MOT Cover" that is included.

The salesman who sold it explained that I would have nothing at all to pay for two years, free MOT, free services etc.

It was lies, apparently, but can anybody explain just what is actually covered under the MOT Cover?.

At the moment it seems that I was conned.  All I am apparently getting for £79 is two oil changes and lots of "recommendations" regarding things that will cost lots of cash.

They always have these 'offers' and you need to find the T&C's that applied to what you got when you got it.

 

This is on a website now.

Thanks RT.

Yes, that looks like the sales pitch I received but the errors are clear to see in the cold light of day.

The MOT Cover says "Up to 24 months" months yet the smaller print states 12 months.

Same with the lead of "24 months Skoda Warranty" which instantly transforms to 12 months in the smaller print.

 

The "Free MOT in the advert (below) didn't materialise either as I was told that "We don't do MOTs, we send them out", so the bit about "conducted by Skoda technicians" is cobblers too.

 

And I never saw any 'Terms and Conditions"   Foolishly I trusted the salesman.

Its fairly easy to tell when a car sales man is lying.... their lips are moving.

 

This is the way car servicing works now - essential is literally an oil and filter change. Everything else is 'recommended' meaning if skoda want to offer you a deal or sell you a car, they only recommend its done and you have to pay yourself. Whereas when it comes to you trading your car in or making a warranty claim, all recommended service items MUST of been carried out.

Its not specific to skoda/vw group. All brands do it now just to pass more costs on to the owner.
