But I am no longer the current keeper, and would have to pay money to insure it and tax it again.
So that car would have an extra owner and I would be out of pocket for something that is not my fault.

When did you buy this car? They sold this car with an MOT not done in nearly a year.
How was that missed by them, and you.
Also, on motability, the servicing is covered by the scheme, done by BMW as well, so its very lazy not to have done it on the leaser's part.

I then contacted the dealer who got the motorbilty company to send them the service records for the car.
The service record received matches the car info. The dealer told me the highlighted yellow is the oil service.
I googled what standard scope is and it seems this is a charge to have work entered into BMW's online history.
The dealer has now requested more information from the motorbilty company.
The reason for this post is I currently have no record of an oil service ever being done, what are my options here?
Run a mile. If a dealer is lying to you, because that is exactly what that is, can't trust them. You should make it a point why they tried to con you into thinking a standard scope is an oil service.
Apologies, my mistake, getting mixed up with my previous car, yes it has a MOT.
That would be an unfortunate result of getting this resolved. I don't think you could expect much in compensation for that.
wheres the oil and consumables??
This.
It all looks very dodgy to me and the dealer is unable to produce any service history. That screenshot doesn't tell us anything.
If they can't come up with the service history, I'd forget your old car and I'd probably just ask the dealer to try and source you a very similar specced car. This would surely incentivise them as they get to keep your money and still make a sale, but you also end up with a similar car?
Give them a couple of weeks to do this and review then?
Also, it seems weird that whoever did the brake fluid service didn't realise it hasn't had anything done and do the oil service also. Tbf, i think they read the key from the car which if someone has reset the service light, will probably indicate that it doesn't need an oil service even though it's never actually been done

I would be returning that car. If it has missed it's services and these jokers are not a BMW dealership then surely BMW will reject any warranty as it's not been serviced to the expected standards?

I would return the car or at least demand some form of compensation if you plan to keep it.
very surprised on the servicing as i thought motorbility cars had servicing tyres etc built in. however lots of there cars ive seen were battered not well cosmetically looked after , some were ok but major dents damage etc were rectified by the insurance companies before resale. either this vehicle has slipped through or the dealer is pulling a fast one.
at that age and price i would want a bmw warranty not a ordinary generic one.

after further interview with motability head on r4 today where he confirmed there is no additional backdoor govt funding than full pip at £75/pw people contribute to cover insurance/recovery etc;
seems you can get a 55kw/170bhp electric elroq for 4x75=£300/month .... they are clearly better fleet negotiators than those providing company cars.
e: in parliament they also said 1 in 2 new cars in northern ireland are motability

They don't have to be better negotiators to get better deals - the amount of cars they buy gives them a huge leverage over the car companies.
OP, if you play your cards right you can get a better replacement car out of this situation. Tell them you don't want the current one anymore and ask for an equal or better replacement. Threaten them with making a complain to the ombudsman. It's probably worth hiring a lawyer and going to court if they don't offer you a good substitution.

@Firefox35 - Was there an outcome to this?
