After having my 2008 Mk2 for 5 years from new, covered by a 5 year servicing contract, I decided to take the offer of a further 2 years for peace of mind. I felt it was a bit pricy, but it included the MOTs. I didn't renew that contract at 7 years as I planned to sell the car early in 2016, which I did, in exchange for my current Mk 3. I again have a 5 year service contract, which cost £555, but it doesn't cover MOT when due. One advantage of using main dealer servicing is the automatic provision of Honda Assist, so I saved money on RAC cover when we no longer had a second car. I made use of Honda Assist once, for a dead 7 year-old battery.
