As above my car is over 6 years old now so I can't get the all in plan anymore.
Has anyone used Motoreasy warranty or any other 3rd party suppliers?
I'm also looking for recommendations for a good indie in the Milton Keynes area to do the servicing.
Indie-Tech and Vag-Tech come up in searches. I may have used Vag-Tech many moons ago on my A3 but a more up to date review wouldn't go amiss!
Thanks in advance JB

I had a Motoreasy policy years ago on a Discovery 4 basically to give me some cover in case the crank snapped (a not uncommon fault 😳), luckily never needed to use it.
Hard sell by the advisor, but reasonably priced. Had to get a Halfords vehicle check which it sailed through.
Only advice I can give is do not accept a betterment clause, gives the warranty provider loads of wiggle room. Remember, it’s just an insurance policy so ensure it’s clear what you are getting.

@Sturdy Lad; you do still have the option of taking out a VW extended warranty. VW offer three different levels of warranty cover. I’ve not read the warranty policy booklet at the link below, but as with all of these insurance based warranties there’ll be the usual range of conditions and exclusions, so worth reading through the warranty booklet to make sure it gives you the cover you need.

I am aware there’s a requirement in the warranty that VW approved parts and fluids to VW spec are used for servicing and maintenance and that servicing is carried out in accordance with VW’s requirements. However, if you’re going to be using a reputable independent (VAT registered) VW specialist, that shouldn’t really be an issue as I’d expect them to use VW approved parts / fluids. Also, if the indie has access to VW’s online system for updating your car’s service history, it should provide VW with evidence that your car’s been serviced on time should you ever need to make a warranty claim (always worth keeping any servicing / repair invoices as additional proof, and ask the indie to ensure any parts / fluids used are fully and adequately described on any invoices).
