Morning Andrew,

I purchased an Accord Euro 2003, last month and had a question on servicing. The car is an import and has been in the country since 2010. The previous owner last had it serviced at the AA on a Treat Me deal in Jan 2012 at 67kms ( I have the paperwork). According the the sticker the next service is due 24th July or 77kms. It has currently done 70km. I understand the importance of regular servicing for Honda VTec engines, but am I ok waiting until 77kms? I do about 2000kms a month so this would push it out to November. Would be very interested in your opinion on this

Thanks
Joe

As the car has done a very small mileage since the last service, I see no reason why you can't wait until 77km. If you haven't clocked up that mileage within 12 months of the last service (although it seems that you will have!), it should be serviced then.
