when i bought it there was no mention of TLC to me, it might have it, it might not

The dealer will know by your reg/vin number if it has TLC
my dealer does not worry if the car has mods done as all that the TLC covers is oil and brake fluid.

Worth a visit to the dealer to check first before buying oil/filter and doing it yourself and it keeps the service record looking better too.;)
