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 6 months or 6,000 miles. G1	6,000 miles or 6 months	£40–£70 Dealer: £80–£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
Spark plugs Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Use correct heat range - incorrect plugs can damage small displacement engine. Check gap before fitting. G1	20,000 miles or 2 years	£40–£60 Dealer: £70–£100
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces braking efficiency and causes internal corrosion. Critical safety item. G1	2 years	£40–£60 Dealer: £70–£100
Coolant flush Replace every 4 years or 40,000 miles. Use correct ethylene glycol coolant concentration. Flush system completely to remove corrosion inhibitor breakdown products. G1	40,000 miles or 4 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £100–£150
Auxiliary belt Replace when signs of cracking or fraying appear, typically 40,000-60,000 miles. Check tensioner operation simultaneously. Belt failure leaves vehicle without charging or power steering. G1	40,000 miles or 4 years	£30–£50 Dealer: £60–£90
