Routine service items
These are the items covered in a standard service. Most garages include oil, oil filter and a basic inspection. The rest are typically checked or replaced on a schedule.
| Service item | Interval | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
|
Engine oil and filter
Manufacturer recommends 12,000 mile intervals but specialists often recommend 6-8k miles for diesel engines due to soot contamination.

Air filter
Check at each service. Replace sooner in dusty conditions. Clogged filter reduces power and increases fuel consumption particularly on petrol V6 engines.

Cabin pollen filter

| Service item | Interval | Typical cost |

Brake fluid
Mandatory 2-year replacement regardless of mileage due to moisture absorption. Test fluid condition at each service. Dark or contaminated fluid indicates moisture ingress.

£70–£100
Dealer: £120–£160

Coolant flush
System flush and refill with correct OAT coolant specification. Check coolant condition and level regularly. Brown or contaminated coolant indicates head gasket or radiator issues.

£100–£150
