should a car in storage be serviced

[grantlfc81]

Hi guys

should this car be serviced even when it was in storage?

It was serviced then put into storage for 8 years. But the car was last serviced 2013 but then prior to that 2003.

It only has 6000 miles and this is its 4th stamp.

Some will say yes, others (outside of England!) will suggest no.

Seals, fluids, bearings, joints and bushes however need using, if the car hasn't even turned over it could have all manner of problems lurking within the next 1000 miles.

It does seem silly servicing a car when it's doing nothing, but it really will hammer the sale price when the time comes

It has covered miles since the last service. Car has a years main dealer warrenty. Belts done 12 months ago. Having another service before it comes to me.

Before you buy from meridian note it will be a aa gold star insurance with an upper limit.I know I bought a 360 from these people a couple of years ago.Take the advice and bide your time, the right 360 will come along and you will be much happier, Mike

Servicing per se whilst in storage is not strictly necessary but it depends on how it was stored. Air conditioned, with regular exercise etc. and personally I wouldn't be particularly bothered as long as it has now had 'the works' done and there are no leaks etc. However, if storage was someone's barn and it didn't turn a wheel for 8 years then I would be concerned and would be looking for a cast iron fully comprehensive warranty before proceeding.

It was in an undercover compound. Im just talking to the dealer about it. It does seem almost too lower mileage lol.
