ALL NEW CARS come with a manufacturer’s warranty that guarantees to cover the cost of fixing any design and manufacturing faults that might occur. That’s reassuring when you consider that many repairs are becoming more expensive because of the need to recalibrate the cameras and sensors that are being fitted to more new cars.
A three-year new car warranty is standard on four out of five new cars, and most brands also stipulate a mileage limit; usually it’s 60,000 miles, and if the car exceeds this within the warranty period, the cover expires.
