I've got my eye on an 5.0 R and simpleR has kindly looked up the spec, which shows that it's first service was 10 months late.
Does that make it one to steer clear of? It's from a main dealer with the years Jaguar warranty - which I'd probably want to extend.
Thanks, J.

Late First Service
Mmm, I guess that depends on why it was so late - it may have been traded in and been sitting on a dealers lot until sold in Feb 17 and serviced then? Ask the dealer if that delay makes a difference to the warranty cover - get it in writing if you can, then you're covered.

I've not seen anyone who has had issues caused by a late service nor any failing and falling into a pile of sand because of it.
I do wonder why you would buy a new R and drive around with the ding service overdue message for 10 months.
Worth looking into and asking why.

I've always timed my service to the day, minute and second...failure to do so may mean that your car will explode!

I time mine to coincide with the MOT date - everything done in one hit. Then, if it fails, my indie hasn't done the service properly!

Better watch on your PCP, its not just a case of handing it back & driving off with a new one. When my last S class Merc went back they sent up a guy who checked everything, mileage, service, any scratches/dents, interior, tyres, wheels, everything. He probably spent about 40 mins. Upshot was he said there was dye transfer (jeans) on the white leather. I could not see it as I am OCD regarding cars. There was a charge for that, but they allow one or two minor things, so I was not charged. Pcp returns are now a big money spinner for them as a lot of people think they can do anything & return it, so they are looking to screw you where possible. Beware

I do tend to leave a 2 or 3 months or so mainly as i only do around 2-3k miles per year and just can't believe a car that only does that sort of miles needs a service every 12 months on the dot.
Jag should be like BMW and have mileage based servicing rather than time based.
That being said i would not wait 10 months so worth checking why

Nothing to worry about, it had its 3rd service on Jan 19. First service is in the dim & distant past & it had only done 6k. What's to worry about. I get mine serviced annually but its only doing about 300 miles /year. I often wonder if they actually change the oil. The one thing they do check is the washer bottle as I make sure its full so they leave a bottle of washer fluid in the footwell (at my expense)
