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
