VW Service schedule, when does it start?

[hrb93]

Hi,

I am purchasing a new VW 10km on the speedo. It has been registered by the dealer but called a GHOST vehicle ie: It was registered but has sat in the warehouse and not driven for nearly a year.

When does my service schedule start? Is it due for a service in 1 months time (12 month anniversary of rego)?

Thanks.

Ghost vehicle, that's a new one...

VW Service Schedule 12mths or 15,000kms (whichever comes sooner)

I would arrange for the 1st service to be included in the vehicle purchase price.

I would be interested to know the following;

Build Date:
Compliance Date:
First Registration Date:

Also, when the car is registered, that is when the Warranty start date is.
You might also want to check if it has three (3) year or a five (5) year warranty...

Yes the 5 year warranty has started. It loses 1 year basically.

Yes the 5 year warranty has started. It loses 1 year basically.

So when you say nearly a year, was it registered in 2019?

FYI: Warranty | Volkswagen Owners | Volkswagen Australia

Since the oil changes are 12months or 15,000km whichever comes first. It’s from the day the engine was started at the factory.
