Service plan all the way.  Take the 3 year deal (£383.76) as you won't need the 4th service as you will be selling it.  I think you'll also find that the brake fluid change is included in the deal - it is with mine and I have the 3 year deal as outlined in your screen shot.
Might just be the new service plan setup

Its never been part of the old deal for me
Where does it say it includes a break fluid change? I bought a 3 yr service plan for £299 when I ordered the car and I can't find any reference to break fluid change. I was under the impression it's not included in the service plan. Be great if it is... another £60 saved!

With regards to the brake fluid it depends on the retailer,  volkswagen say what you have to include which is of course the service the  its up to the retailer to decided whether they are going to include mot's brake fluid change etc.  At our retailer you don't get the bfc but I know of of others where you do.  The problem is you would have to take it to the selling retailer to benefit from the extra bfc or mot as the retailer will be paying for it not vw.  Hope that makes sense ☺

I will be keeping the car for 10 years, thats the plan anyway. So the 4year plan is still worth it Imo.

Also £59 for bfc every 3years is nothing tbh. Especially when you stick 70 quid in your petrol tank every time you fill up :smiley:

That's not quite right.  I have the 3 year service plan (24x£15.99) and the letter I have from VW Finance (arrived about 2 months after the plan was set up) sets out what the plan includes and it states: "Brake fluid change at 36 months only."

Edit:   It's shows all of what's included here - click new car servicing:  https://www.vwfinance.co.uk/content/sites/vwbank/vwfinancecouk/en/privatecustomers/how_agreements_work/fixed_price_servicing.html

The old 3 year service plans (pay in one lump)  used to include the Bfc whereas the used car service plans (2 years 20,000 miles)  didn't.  As far as Iwas aware the new service plans didn't include the Bfc but I may be wrong,  I will check at work tomorrow it may be the mot I am thinking of!

Your first Bfc is at 3 years then two years ever after ☺

Either way all the serviceplans save you money
