So, the car went into Renault dealer yesterday and a diagnostics check was run. My wife collected the car later in the day and they said it just needed an update and that was it. No explanation, just sent on her way. We had to pay £25 insurance for the courtesy car and they didn’t even wash our car....

Wow, that is ingenious RocketRonny.
Looks totally OEM.

Car taxed for another year yesterday.
Definitely worth getting one last year for free .

So I’ve booked it in for a diagnostic check.
If it’s a warranty issue, no charge.
If they can’t find an issue, again, no charge.
If it’s something else, £160 for the service.
Booked in for March 20th, Renault UK have been informed so let’s see what happens.
I’ll update when I know anything more.

Ahh, yes, this was a big factor when we chose the magane, had been looking at Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioinic 5 before we cottoned on to luxury car tax that you have to pay.
Narrows down your options significantly.

Scenic is very nice.
High on the list of possibilities for our next one too, only 3 1/2 years to go

Any thoughts on your next vehicle?

Thanks for confirming that Neilgall, definitely will be getting that done in the next week or two.

Spoke to Renault UK and they asked if I would like to book the car in for a diagnostic. It was fine after a charge last night by the way. Anyway, I asked if there would be a charge for the diagnostics, they said it depended on whether it revealed a problem that was covered under warranty, a bit vagu...

Read an article in the Daily Mail today that said if you tax your EV before 1st April 2025 you won’t pay anything until you tax it next time in 2026.
Has anyone else heard this and could they confirm if it is correct?
Apparently you can tax your car whenever you wish, not just when it is due.
