Will an imported Rifter be under warranty?
The question
Buying a used Peugeot Rifter in the UK. Reading online that warranty will not be honoured here in Ireland. Is this true or how can I find out?

Hi Brian,
It depends on the age of the car and where you’re buying it from. If it’s young enough to still be under its official manufacturer’s warranty then it’s fine — these are pan-European and will be honoured. Being as the Rifter was only launched last year, it should be fine. The trouble comes when you have either an older car that has a ‘local’ warranty from the dealer selling it, or a newer car with a one-year manufacturer warranty and a two-year ‘dealer top-up’ warranty. In the case of the latter, it MIGHT still be honoured here, but best to check with your local Peugeot garage before taking the leap.
