I was examining the Kia service plan for the aforementioned vehicle. The cost of a 3-year plan is £669, while a 5-year plan is much more at £1,539. The additional two years of the five-year plan result in a cost that is much more than twice the cost of the three-year plan. I am curious to know what activities or services are being provided during the fourth and fifth years that justify the increased expense.

The manual for servicing provides a comprehensive list of the necessary requirements for each service.

I do not currently own the automobile...I will consult a book, observe, and inquire with the vendor to ascertain their findings.

With my previous vehicle, I had free service for the first two years. In the second year (2022), I purchased an additional three years of service, which includes MOT inspections. I spent a total of £565.
Is the 5-year plan inclusive of MOTs?

The current auto maintenance plan I have for my existing vehicle, which spans over a period of 5 years, used to include MOTs. However, they have discontinued the practice of providing MOTs as part of their plans.

Typically, Kia's service plans are affordable when first purchased. However, after factoring in 5 years of inflation, they become advantageous, provided that you have the necessary funds.

The cost of the 4th service on a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is now £690. In 4 years, it is expected to be closer to £800. The cost of the 5th year service today is £394. To find out the current cost for your specific car with 40,000 miles, you may enter your data into the Kia Service site.

Thank you for providing the hyperlink. On my previous attempt, the system failed to identify my registration number.

I have just compared the servicing expenses for my gasoline-powered XCeed vehicle at my nearby Kia dealership and at the next closest service facility, which happens to be Arnold Clark, located 35 miles away. The price of AC is £50 higher. Typically, I choose for the services of a nearby autonomous garage. However, I was taken aback to discover that the cost at the dealership would really be lower.

Hello, The increase in cost is mostly due to the 4th year service, which may be almost twice as expensive as the service in the first, second, and third years.

Examining the specifications for the automobile I will be acquiring in the near future. According to my local Kia store, the fourth service is a significant one, costing roughly £700.
