What warranty is provided with imported vehicles?
Any new car that is sold within any member country of the European Union has a one year manufacturer’s pan-European warranty, although some manufacturers have now extended this to two or even three years. The pan-European warranty will be honoured at any of the manufacturers UK authorised dealers, but will not include an extended or dealer warranty, which can normally be purchased separately from your local dealer. It is very important to check the warranty provisions with the importer to ensure that you will receive the full benefit of the pan-European warranty. The warranty on a vehicle which is not imported through a UK authorised dealer may have commenced at the point of sale to the third party importer and therefore you may not receive the full period of the pan-European warranty.
