What's not covered?
No warranty can cover for every eventuality so naturally, there are some important exclusions. These include but are not limited to accident damage, wear & tear (unless you have the Protect Plus cover), bodywork, serviceable/ancillary items, driver abuse/negligence and not having the vehicle serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
