This applies to all Cars

If you havent had it serviced and want to do a part exchange how badly would it affect the price your given?

Ive had my car two years in november, not had it serviced but will not need MOT
Ive only done 6000miles in 2years, you were supposed to have it serviced once a year or every10,000 miles, since i was literally miles away from that target i never got it serviced

What do u guys think?

I thought it was only when the service counter told you! Mind you, I expect to do 10,000 mi, so it will come round...

I thought it was when the service indicator told you to service it or 2 years? Do you have the TLC pack?

In the past whenever I have traded in a car they have not even asked me if it had full service history!

Given the amount of miles you may be ok.... I thought the service interval was when it said by miles, or 24 months like KenL said.... personally if I was doing low miles i'd do an oil change every 12 months anyway, but thats just me....

If your talking about a trade in to a mini dealer of anither type of car, i doubt with such low mileage they'd be interested.

24 months or when the indicator told you so was what I thought too. We've got a MINI Cooper S in the family that's nearly three years old now, and that only had a service at 2 years (it's only done under 8k miles).
