AUC warranty - are you charged if no fault found?

I have AUC warranty on my car, and I have a (minor for now) issue of a tiny amount of vibration on braking.

I imagine its either brakes or bushes, both of which I doubt are covered by warranty. I also suspect its so minor at the moment that the mechanic won't notice it.

So if I have the car looked at by BMW and they find no fault or something which is not covered by the warranty, will I be charged by the dealer?

Silly question I know but I just don't trust them...

Thanks

This is down to the dealer.

I've never been charged for no fault found on AUC warranty investigations, but I've been using my local dealer for 10 years which may have something to do with it.

I'd imagine that bushes are covered - they certainly are on the Comprehensive insured warranty which specifically notes all wear and tear is covered up to 100k.

+1 on wear and tear. They replaced the cruise control switch/button on my F10 steering wheel as it looked very tired, under warranty

They replaced the steering wheel on mine because the leather was showing signs of wear.

My front seat got replaced under warranty. The sides had started to scuff after one year from new.
