We collect our new (2nd hand) van very soon, and the dealer includes a 12 month warranty. They are offering a further 12 months for £130, or 24 months for £200.

The policy is the MB&G Gold insurance, and covers Body leaks, Braking systems, chassis, suspension, electrics, toilet, cooker fridge, heating and water systems. It doesn't cover wear & tear, soft furnishings etc.

The condition is that the van is serviced annually by a competent service agent (not necessarily the supplying dealer). The van is 5 years old.

I must admit I am tempted for the piece of mind. has anyone a view on this? Is it good value for money? Has anyone experienced claiming from MB&G?

Thanks

I must admit, I am tempted to buy it for piece of mind

Thanks for the feedback

The policy booklet specifically mentions Water Ingress as being covered until the van is 10 years old - at the moment it is 5, so that would be OK.

I guess it's a good idea, it's just with all the extra costs we are rachking up on top of the purchase price: tow bar, insurance, security devices, all the accessories etc, it seems a constant battering on the wallet.
