Re: Inspection message MFD
It’s telling you your car is due for a service.
If you’re on the time and distance service regime, services alternate between a minor (oil) service and major (inspection) service. Details of what’s involved for each - taken from VW website under ‘Service Plans’; for cars over 1 year old.
Oil service;

Re: Inspection message MFD
Thanks for the very informative response. So looking closer at the service book the car is on time & distance plan and had an oil change service 30/07/18 @ 28,600mls so actually only about 500mls ago. The last extended inspection was @ 25,000mls in Oct 2017. The service book also says the next inspection service is due October 2018 @ 35,000mls and oil service @ 39,000mls in July 2019

Re: Inspection message MFD
From the dates you have listed, I think that the garage at the last service forgot to reset the service interval in July 2018 and the car is 'remembering' the service complete in Oct 2017.
