I'm low mileage too but not lots of short journeys which are not good for cars. I tend to mostly pick up a bagful of shopping several times a week on the return leg of a walk with the occasional trip by car to stock up on bulk stuff. I don't use supermarket deliveries. I do use Amazon quite a lot.

I just let them follow the service schedule.

No.  I wouldn't want a driverless taxi,  train, plane,  or anything else driverless.

Another thing is,  I always wonder if a driverless car hit mine,  how would you claim on their insurance?    You could hardly ask  for anyone's insurance details!

Quote from: Scrumpy on September 03, 2026, 09:29:59 AM.. and me... When they tell me to Scan here.. I have no idea how to do it..
A woman in the doctors waiting room showed me once.. it looked so easy..
But then I went and forgot..

Do you mean scan those QR codes Scrumps?
They are everywhere aren't they.  
We'll have to scan a QR to go to the loo next!

I have never used one and not the slightest bit interested in them.
In fact,  somebody told me the other day that they can be used to access our phones!!!

I also love Birdsong..

I haven't heard my Blackbird for a couple of years now.. Come to think of it I haven't seen too many birds since the weather has become warmer..

Be OK in London. Max speed is probably much less than on a bike. Sometimes les than walking pace.

My little car's  MOT  and Service is due this month.
Mine is a 2014  Fiat Panda.

I don't do many miles a year nowadays,  probably only about 3,000 or so.
For the last 2 years they have only done a small Interim service  because of the low mileage.

I wondered what others do about their annual service?   
Do you have it done along with the MOT,  and do you advise the big service each year, alternating with the small service in between?
Do you do a lot of mileage annually,  or very little?
