Yes it will until it is 6 years old I believe.

I have emailed them to ask this question as mine is a 2020 model.

It did with Saga a few years ago, I had 20 plus years, but I changed & stayed with the same company for a couple of years who only gave 15 years. I left & went to Saga, but they would only accept the 15 years I had with the current insurer even though I told them I had over 20 years before that, they added about another £30 because I couldn't prove the 20 years I originally had, so I have had to build it up again & don't want to lose it again now.

The only issue with Tesco ins is they only give 9 years NCB & I had 20 years when I joined from the AA last year. I have had to phone them & they are sending out a letter with 21 years NCB proof.

That is probably a very good idea.👍

Well I just had my Tesco insurance renewal through, £260 last year, £610 this year. 😬 20years NCB protected, Retired so no commuting, 4,000 miles a year. Just been on comparison site & can get it for £314 with all of above, but £100 excess compared to £250 with renewal. So goodbye Tesco, hello Aviva, unless I can manage to get a better deal somewhere else.

If I remember correctly on the IS300h service schedule it says replace fob battery every service, whether they do or not who knows?

I had mine replaced at just 3 years old on the 3 year service, it was done under warranty, but told me I was lucky as it would only have been covered for 3 years.

That is absolutely ludicrous, there should be an investigation into this sort of profiteering.

I think the F/L came out in 2017. I would always go with the newest model if possible, unless there are things you can't live without.

Are you sure the car you are looking at isn't an face lift IS300h comfort pack model? Mine is a 2020 70 plate comfort model & it has Tahara heated seats, reversing camera, rain sensing wipers, keyless entry & auto dimming mirror.

Can't comment on a lot of the other issues really as low milage drive, but normally average between 45 & 50mpg. Has enough power for me & stereo is fine. Good luck whatever you decide.

Martin Lewis warned of this a few weeks ago & even had an insurance exec on his show & he said the cost of repairs had risen so much in the last year they had no choice but to raise premiums to cover their cost.

Hi Richard, that does seem way too much. You are right to question it.

I have just looked at my service plan, taken out last year for another 3 years after my initial 2 year plan run out. The cost for 2 full services & one intermediate service is £1465/ £35.80 a month which should be the same for your RC. There is no discount, but it stays at that price even if the cost of servicing goes up.
