Normally I wouldn't be so flippant, but are you serious? Five services since and coming with a warranty? I think you are being totally irrational to ask TBH.

Out of curiosity - what was the mileage to the first service - if it was within the specified range for the car and just done after the 12 months then I think you are being doubly irrational.

Hi
Bentley have given their 12 month warranty...

I'd mention that you've noticed that it has missed a service and that you don't expect that to be an issue when you decide to sell it back to them.

If it has a Bentley warranty I wouldn't worry too much...

[Alex_225]

How many miles were done during the time it was new and when it was actually serviced?

[Ilovejapcrap]

Not sure I’d be worried what was first service a quick one after a few tho miles ?

If I was spending big money I’d want spot on too but not a deal in reality I suspect

Thank you, this is exactly the response I want to read.
I am not a knowledgeable car fanatic, just a fanatic, I was always lead to believe to not touch a car like a Bentley unless it had FULL sh. I want to collect this vehicle tomorrow, amusingly my decision is being based on the opinion of a forum !

8500 between Aug 2012 and when it was next serviced in April 2014- it missed April 2013.

It had the pre delivery, then the now obsolete 6 week (at 1500 miles)

Seriously?

Buying an expensive car, knowing full well that the major point being it should have full sh but didn’t check?

And basing a purchase decision on asking random people on the internet?

Righto.

No problem, enjoy your new car.

I had a go in one about three years ago, I'd decided it was a barge before I'd even got the seat positioned correctly... I absolutely loved it!

It was a bit thirsty though...

Exactly that.

I took it for granted that a Bentley from a dealer with 20k miles and 6 years old would have FSH.

Random people who undoubtedly have more knowledge than me, my wife, our 2 kids, ages 1 and 3 and the dog, with that in mind I thought PH forum would offer better advice.

[wilwak]

Sounds absolutely fine to me.

I bought a Bentley approved GT that was six years old and had skipped three services.

It’s was low mileage so the dealer said it wasn’t a problem.

It’s a wonderful car. Love it. Never looked back!

Enjoy!

If Bentley are happy to sell it and put a warranty on it then i don't see an issue. Enjoy the car.

[hornmeister]

8500 miles between services is pretty ordinary.

I would hope a Bentley can cope with that.

Enjoy it.

Exactly this explain you won't make it a problem now as long as they won't have a problem later & get it in writing, then just enjoy the car.

Don't worry mate, some people just like to post useless comments!

[MYOB]

The difficulty here is when you pay part exchange it again, the value will reflect the lack of a FSH. That's fine, as long as the price you're paying for it also reflects the lack of a FSH.
