BMW Service Inclusive Plus / MOT Protect question
Discussion
I would appreciate some advice from fellow members on my situation.
My car had Service Inclusive Plus (which has now expired as I have gone over the 50,000 mile limit).
I have an issue with one of my Adaptive LED headlights whereby it is saying 'dipped beam failure left". The dealer has seen it and said it needs further (chargeable) investigation. A quick Google search (and a search here on the forum) suggests that a complete new unit is required (chargeable, as the car is now out of warranty).
The car's third MOT is due on 1st July.
The vehicle's was first registered on 19th July 2102.
My usual dealer cannot get it in for MOT until 28th July.
I am assuming that the vehicle will fail the MOT due to the dipped beam failure.
The questions are:
- will the headlight it be covered under MOT Protect?
- do I take it to the dealer where I am a regular customer (even though they cannot do the MOT until after the car is 5 years old when the BMW MOT Protect might have expired).
- or do I try and get it into another BMW dealer who might be able to do the MOT earlier? (although I would have no regular customer 'relationship' with this dealer.
Also, slightly off topic, I have noticed that servicing appears much cheaper on this website:
https://www.bmw-service.co.uk/ than the prices quoted directly from my dealer!
Thanks in advance

Suggests that it's covered but I'd speak to a dealer. I can't believe they can't squeeze you in for an MOT. Have you asked them and explained the situation?

I have tried, they cannot fit me in. And they absolutely cannot do anything until the vehicle actually has a MOT test and fails.https://www.bmw-service.co.uk/service_inclusive_te...

I have managed to get a booking on Thursday at a dealer I have never used before.
