Anything need doing at 3 years old?

[Sussex A3 3.2 Quattro]

Its nearly 3 years since my A3 3.2 Quattro was 1st registered. I'm away from home at the moment and just wondering if anything needs servicing at 3 years old. My car has only done approx 15k miles.


Cheers

I'd get it checked over at an independant, to make sure nothing, that could be claimed under warranty, is due for replacement, so it can be done before it expires

Don't forget you need an MOT at 3 years as well :icon_thumright:

From 1 April 1996, all motor cars must undergo an annual vehicle test (M.O.T.) when they reach the age of 4 years old. Special arrangements apply to vehicles imported to Northern Ireland. For more information on whether your car must be tested and when, contact your nearest DVTA centre.

Is it not on the cars fourth birthday then???

For the UK (excuding NI by the looks of your link) it's 3 years : http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/Mot/DG_4022112

Judging by the OPs forum name I guess the DVLA link above is the one to use. I'm not sure why they'd be different, but there you go, that's Governments for you !!

Yeah you guys must be different than us. I know for certain its fourth birthday here, thats what my last car was. Plus they send you out documentation on it.


Although if you lived in a wee island at the top of Northern Ireland called Rathlin Island you dont ever need an MOT.lol
