Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice.

I have a Peugeot 2008 through Motability. The car currently has around 25,000 miles on it and the service light has come on the dashboard.

I contacted my local Peugeot dealer to book it in for a service, but they refused and said they do not service vehicles under 30,000 miles.

I have now received an email from Peugeot Connect saying:

“Your Peugeot 2008 has notified us that it will soon need a service. To carry on driving with complete peace of mind, please make an appointment with your Peugeot workshop.”

I’m confused because the car itself is telling me it needs a service, but the dealer is refusing because of the mileage.

Also can anyone advise what Motability look for when deciding whether you qualify for the £750 good condition payment? Does having a full service history affect this?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Is that not an MOT failure?? I would take it to another Peugeot garage.

My car had the service light come on after a year. But correctly the service dept said my cars first service was after 2 years. The tech came out with an ipad and switched off the light there and then. Problem solved.

It passed its MOT a couple of months ago 😊. This isn’t an MOT warning light, it’s the service reminder.

I did ask them to turn the warning light off as it’s bright red and distracting but they said they wouldn’t even touch it.

To reset the service light on most modern Peugeot models (such as the 208, 2008, 3008, and Partner), turn the ignition off, press and hold the trip/spanner button (or the button on the end of the indicator stalk), turn the ignition back on, and wait for the on-screen 10-second countdown to reach zero before releasing

Thanks. I’ll try that 🙂 It worked 👍 Thank you very much 🙏

I would have spoke to Motability first and explained the service light is on and what you were told by the dealer!

Good condition bonus is £250 for a 3 year lease.

£750 was a new vehicle payment which ended last year.

I just got the service due warning on my Skoda that’s due to go back in a matter of weeks, I checked with MB and they said leave it. They said as long as it’s MOT’d ready for changeover we can ignore the service. Trying to save money everywhere they can I suppose.

If I seem a little strange, that's because I am.

Skoda Karoq SEL.

Yes motability usually do not authorise a third service unless you are in an extension and have gone over the 3 years. I’m on my 7th motability vehicle and the only time I got a 3rd service was during covid and had to wait around 10 months for new vehicle.
