In mid-Junee I suspected that my 2018 Seat Leon FR probably had a broken rear spring. It went into the local Seat dealer for MOT and I was proven right - broken rear spring. Girl on service desk said she would see if Seat would authorise a replacement under warranty. On a 7-yeat old car with the state of the roads now? Well, it was replaced under warranty. I suspect my case was helped by the car being covered under the VAG All-in-One scheme (2 services, 2 MOTs, 2 years warranty, 2 years breakdown cover) for the 4 years since the original warranty ran out. I'm still impressed.
I very much doubt that a 3rd party warranty would have covered a broken spring on a 7-year old car.

My Q5 went in for a MOT last month, the chap on the service desk said one of the rear springs was on its way out, I said change it then (would cost me £300+) he said, no, give it 6 months and I’ll book it in for a check, it’ll be worse by then so Audi will replace it under the extended warranty. I’ve got that all in one package also.I very much doubt that a 3rd party warranty would have covered a broken spring on a 7-year old car.
