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 specifies 12,500 miles or 12 months. C-CROSSER	12,500 miles or 1 year	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£180
Air filter Replace every 25,000 miles. Check more frequently if driven in dusty conditions. Dirty air filter reduces performance and increases fuel consumption on diesel engines. C-CROSSER	25,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £40–£70
Cabin pollen filter Replace every 2 years or 25,000 miles. Located behind glove box. Clogged filter reduces HVAC efficiency and can cause musty odours. C-CROSSER	25,000 miles or 2 years	£15–£30 Dealer: £30–£60
Fuel filter Replace every 25,000 miles on diesel engines. Critical for protecting high-pressure fuel injection system. Use genuine or OE-equivalent filter only. C-CROSSER	25,000 miles or 2 years	£40–£70 Dealer: £70–£120

Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing corrosion in brake system. C-CROSSER	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £90–£150
Coolant flush Replace every 5 years or 75,000 miles. Use long-life coolant meeting MB 325.0 specification. System capacity approximately 8 litres. Flush prevents corrosion and maintains cooling efficiency. C-CROSSER	75,000 miles or 5 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£200
