Hello Gareth,
Thanks for the response. My only concern is with big ticket repairs on the vehicle due to its age. I understand there have been a fair amount of issues on this model vehicle in the past and I wouldn’t want to be lumped with a repair bill or major part replacement that is over budget for me. Mileage will probably be in the region of 10k a year I would think as a family car.
Also, to a certain degree I lack mechanical repair expertise to be able to dive under the bonnet and fix any major issues myself. The vehicle currently has a 6 month warranty with the dealer which would cover me in any event, so I was considering getting some sort of additional cover after the warranty period has lapsed just in case.
I do have a trusted garage close to where i live, which I’ve used in the past for my previous vehicle. Thanks
