Question inspection / service interval reminders

[davis1888]

Have a question for the forum, might seem daft but want to check anyway as it’s been annoying me / playing on my mind.

My Car is warning me on the console that it’s 4 days until an inspection is due, which aligns to exactly 3 years to the date the car was first registered, so an annual service reminder. However I had it serviced after buying it second hand probably about mid July last year, I would have expected the Audi dealership where it was serviced to have marked that within the car itself, by marking it had a service with the onboard computer or resetting the service interval clock or something, does that sound right?

I’m planning to ignore it to be honest as it’s been in for a service in July and been in about Sept / Oct to have the engine thermostat replaced under warranty, so another £300 service would be overkill IMHO. I know these cars are specialist motors but servicing every 6 months seems excessive.

Any thoughts? Do I ignore and maintain a year since last service or do I ignore at my peril?

Speak to the main dealer that did the work

Speak to the main dealer that did the servicing work.......is there an echo in here???

Probably tell me it needs a £300 service!

Inspection may differ from the oil service. It does on mine oil intervals are variable.
