A suspension issue? Could you describe it more?

Yes. Best described as a bush type creak. It’s loud enough to hear over the radio. BUT, it didn’t do it yesterday but did it the day before. Let me explain. We’ve had the car since late September but only used it once a week (only 450 miles in 14 weeks). So we used it Saturday (suspension noise) and then again Sunday (silent). Could inactivity and damp conditions be causing the issue? It’s going in for the 3 month check soon. If it continues, I’ll get them to look at it.

What's this 3 month check you mention? Had my car since late September as well (1,700 miles), never heard of a check.

No issues so far. My first time into the dealer will be September 2020 for its first service.

It’s something you can arrange if you’re not entirely happy or need something explained. It’s a 30 minute appointment. Lots of people on here have had one. You can even sometimes just walk in if they’re not too busy. A bit like a hands on courtesy call.

My dealership arranged the dates for the 3 month check when I picked up my car - seems like a good idea rather than wait a year with a possible problem I have not noticed.

My wife's Mini Cooper will be going for its first visit to the dealers for its first service in March this year. That's 2 years since we drove away when we picked it up.
Car runs fine and we have no issues.

No mention of an interim checkup from Volvo, or from Mini BMW.
