A local Merc dealer contacted me recently to say a service is due (at one year old). I understood that services are due every two years, but I do remember that someone on this forum had already had a service where even the wipers were replaced! So, what’s everyone else’s thoughts?

Mine went in for a call-back warranty service action just before Christmas; 2-3 months since purchase. They reset the service time for two years later.

I've had my #1 Premium since Sept 2023. I've done 11.5k miles, and the app says my next service is in 7k miles time, which will probably be around Sept 2025. So yes, 2 years to my 1st service. Maybe it is a variable service interval, where the car decides based upon distance driven, etc.
The first time a Mercedes garage saw my vehicle was a couple of weeks ago when I had to take it in for them to look at the front exterior door handles, which won't retract anymore, and they didn't mention anything about any call-back warranty service action.
I'm currently waiting for the garage to contact me, after they have the replacement handles, to book it in again, at which time I'll see what they say about any warranty actions outstanding.

Mine is a Sept 2023 car with 8,500 miles and, according to the car, my first service is due 86 days or 10,000 miles (whichever is soonest I guess).

I would check with the dealer whether it is after 1 or 2 years. There’s a bit of confusion over this. It’d be good to hear what they say to you.

On the app on first page (car icon) swipe up and select vehicle details it shows the maintenance due details there.

Yes it does, but it’s whether we believe that or what Dealers have been saying.

My car was registered in Nov 23 and I've done around 16000 miles. Last Friday I had a seat belt recall and software patch applied to fix an issue with the front wiper and I just checked in the app, it says service in 107 days or 408km. I'll be booking the service tomorrow and see what SMART say and post an update.

I booked my service at Aachen Mercedes/Smart, the service desk said first service is at 25000 km or 2 years whereas the car says 30000 km or 19 months from memory. Sorry I've switched from miles to km whilst in Germany

Looking at my Smart app, it seems to be heading me for the 30,000km mark, down 20,000km so far. In 2 weeks I'll have had my car for 18 months, so will advise if it notifies me of a service in the next 6 weeks.
