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 absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing internal corrosion. Use DOT 4 specification fluid only.
