First, I've never owned a private car so I know naff all about servicing. But my daughter bought her first car last October from a Nissan dealership...it was an X-reg Micra 1.0S Manual with 19K on the clock. So in a few months its coming up to MOT time plus (even though she has done only
1200 miles since purchase) I guess it will need a service.Not so much because of the mileage since the last service, it was serviced by Nissan prior to us picking it up, but a service cause its been a year since the last one.... and that's the query.
Does it need one? Who should I go to? Back to the dealer or an independent? What would be done on that kind of service as I wouldn't know if you would want a major service or a minor service, or what one would consist of? Any garage could say it needs X, Y and Z doing where with folks in the know it would only need X and Y doing...if you see what I mean.
Checking the manual confuses matters as it suggests servicing after so many thousand miles or X years, but the reality because of the low mileage makes it all out of sync i.e. major, minor, interim service...which one?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Ginga
