Hi xcaliber,
£35 per month = £420 p.a. = £1,260 for 3 yrs / 30,000 miles
Which equates to 0.042 pence per mile
On my figures of £3,262.71 for 88,000 miles
This equates to 0.03707625 pence per mile
So for 30,000 miles the service / repair costs on my figures work out at £1,112.29 or £147.71 less than the service contract.
Based on those figures I would take the service contract. Although I have spent less for the same miles you will be doing them over a longer period. I am of the belief that more goes wrong when you switch things off than if you leave them running. Also quite a few things fail over time rather than miles.
