From January 2015, all Vauxhall cars and vans will carry a three year*\/60,000 mile warranty (down from 100,000 miles) with options for extension.<\/p>\n
Tim Tozer, Vauxhall\u2019s chairman and managing director, said: “In today\u2019s market, 65% of retail sales are supported by a finance package and within that, over 60% are PCPs.<\/p>\n
“This has dramatically changed ownership patterns resulting in fewer customers retaining their cars beyond three years.
\n“Couple this with a \u20ac4 billion investment in high technology powertrains and state of the art new products and it no longer makes business sense to invest in 100,000 mile warranty cover.<\/p>\n
“We will continue to focus our investment on providing our customers with a high quality and satisfying experience, both at dealer and company level, throughout their purchase and ownership period.”<\/p>\n
Existing vehicles with ‘lifetime warranty’ will continue to be covered for up to 100,000 miles whilst the vehicle remains with the first owner, subject to annual validation.<\/p>\n
The new three year\/60,000 mile transferable warranty includes AA roadside assistance (with Homestart and full European cover) in the first year and is available with extension options up to four and five years.<\/p>\n
Note: * Vivaro and Movano van warranty is\u00a0three years\/100,000 miles.<\/p>\n
