Spectrum warranty a joke
I bought a very nice and quite new second hand Nissan Qashqai and decided a warranty would be a good idea so paid an extra £900 for a warranty which was a Spectrum warranty. Everything was fine and I really liked my new car. Six months later out of the blue while driving on a cold wintry night the car overheated and lost power due to a broken thermostat casing. There was absolutely no warning - no warning lights flashing, nothing at all to alert us to what was happening.
And now shockingly we have been told that the car needs a new engine and our Spectrum warranty does not cover the cost because the car overheated and we shouldn’t have driven a car that was overheating even though we were unaware of the situation. Spectrum have assessed the case and have decided that they will only cover the cost of the snapped thermostat casing - £361.19 - which caused the subsequent overheating of the engine. I paid £11,000 for the car which I have now lost and I have no car. Nor did Spectrum cover the cost of a car hire while I waited more than 4 weeks for their assessment. During the four weeks I heard almost nothing from them and had to call and wait on hold for ages to ask them for updates. I am deeply shocked by my experience.

We are very sorry to hear how disappointed you are with your experience and appreciate how upsetting this situation has been.
Following your claim, an independent engineer’s inspection confirmed that the thermostat housing had failed, causing coolant loss and engine overheating. While the Motorpoint warranty covered the failed thermostat housing and associated repairs, the warranty terms do not provide cover for consequential engine damage caused by overheating or where damage occurs after a fault has developed.
We note your comments that there were no warning lights or indications that the vehicle was overheating at the time and appreciate how frustrating this must have been. You may wish to raise this aspect directly with Nissan to establish whether any warning systems should have activated under the circumstances described.
We also recognise your dissatisfaction with the timescales and communication during the assessment process, and we apologise that the level of service provided did not meet expectations.
Complex engine failures can take time to fully assess, particularly where independent inspections and technical reviews are required, and we aim to ensure that all available information is reviewed thoroughly before confirming a claim outcome.
With regard to the hire vehicle costs, Spectrum acts solely as the administrator of the Motorpoint warranty, and any entitlement to additional benefits is governed by the terms and conditions of the Motorpoint warranty cover.
We understand this was not the outcome you were hoping for and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Kind regards
Claire

I was having gearbox problems with my…
I was having gearbox problems with my Ford Ecosport . I took it to Fords for assessment & the quoted £7000.00 for replacement, I remembered that I took out a warranty when I purchased my car from car giant . I called them & they directed me to contact Nick at Brittanic Auto Transmission. He arranged for collection & advised what was wrong. I was apprehensive giving him authorisation to identify cause of fault but after speaking to Nick he made me see that the car with no gearbox working was not the way forward & had to be fixed either way . Within a day of authorising Brittanic then liaised with spectrum & Andrew came back to me with good news . My claim was successful. Big Thank you to Andrew Ward for looking in to it ASAP . Thanks to spectrum team for returning faith

Do not use this company
Do not use this company. I took out tyre and alloy insurance for a brand new car. I was not made aware that pictures had to be provided - why this is a requirement on a brand new car I still do not understand! A used car I can see why this would be required. I have had multiple previous tyre and alloy insurance policies and this has NEVER been a requirement. Unfortunately, I slightly damaged an alloy before being made aware of this stipulation. I was confronted with complete inflexibility and a complete lack of customer service or even appreciation of a customer. I ultimately decided to cancel the policy and get a refund. It's a shame as Direct Gap who sold the policy are very customer focused. Avoid Spectrum and find another insurance company that won't rip you off.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
While we did not sell or arrange this policy, we can confirm that the terms and conditions including the requirement to submit pre-cover condition images within 14 days form part of the policy documentation and are confirmed at the point of sale.
These images are required to establish the condition of the vehicle at the start of cover and to ensure claims can be assessed fairly.
We understand this may not always be expected, particularly if you’ve held similar policies elsewhere, and we’re sorry for any frustration caused.
Kind regards,
Claire

I had an issue with my car which was covered by an extended warranty taken out when I bought the car from Motorpoint. I was extremely impressed by the efficiency and quick response to my call and the fact that follow emails kept me informed of what stage my claim was at. This morning (only 3 days after my initial call) dealing with Andrew was the very best experience of customer service that I have ever received. He kept
me on the line whilst he liaised with my garage and then with his technical team and was able to resolve the issue there and then, sending me a text with the agreed recompense. I feel he was sympathetic with my request, very courteous and professional. A credit to his company.

If you’re ever hesitant about taking out an extended warranty, I highly recommend contacting Spectrum Insurance Service first. I recently reached out to Spectrum to make a claim, and the administrators were extremely helpful and polite—both during my initial call to report the issue and when I followed up to check whether the repair had been approved.
Emily approved the repair promptly, and her service was flawless. She is a real credit to the organisation.

DELIGHTED TO VOID YOUR WARRANTY with no refund when rejected
My advice. Print all your money off in £5 notes and leave them next to your toilet. Much better value and at least you're pulling your own trousers down for the money
Steer clear.
Update. Reasons provided don't really justify the rejection
Businesses who handle large sums of money for a service should provide reminders and clearer expectations. Particularly when a service needs completing within 4 months of purchase.
No goodwill. No sympathy. No refund despite being voided for 90% + of the length of the warranty. Not good enough. They do not value your custom. They do all they can to avoid paying out and leaving you stranded
Protection???? Not so sure. Scumbags

We’re sorry to hear how strongly you feel about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
We understand this situation is frustrating, particularly when you’ve taken out an extended warranty. However, we’d like to clarify the reason your claim was declined.
All claims are assessed in line with the warranty terms, which require the vehicle to be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s schedule. In this case, the service interval is 12 months or 20,000 miles. Based on the service records provided, the required service due in January 2026 was completed in March 2026, meaning it was overdue at the time the issue occurred.
As servicing within the specified timeframe is a condition of the warranty, this unfortunately meant the claim could not be accepted.
We do appreciate your comments regarding communication at the point of sale and will take this feedback on board and feedback to Motorpoint . If you would like us to review anything further, or if there is additional documentation you feel we haven’t considered, please contact us directly and we’ll be happy to take another look.
Kind regards,
Claire
Great service - thank you
Had an issue with my car today, contacted Spectrum as they under-right the warranty for Motorpoint, and can’t speak highly enough of the service. Sent me a text message with a nearby garage, who diagnosed the issue immediately. Spectrum authorised the repair with no problem. The part was then ordered and fitted same day. Special thanks to Emily who sorted everything. Thank you.
