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 specifies 7,500 miles or 12 months for GDI engines. H60	7,500 miles or 1 year	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£180
Air filter Replace every 15,000 miles or 2 years. Check more frequently in dusty conditions. Clogged filter reduces performance and increases fuel consumption on GDI engines. H60	15,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £40–£70

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 30,000 miles or 4 years for GDI engines. Carbon fouling is common on direct injection engines. Worn plugs cause misfires and emissions failures. H60	30,000 miles or 4 years	£120–£180 Dealer: £180–£250
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing corrosion in brake system components. H60	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £90–£130
Coolant flush Replace every 60,000 miles or 5 years with OAT-type coolant. Flush system completely to remove old coolant and contaminants. Neglect causes radiator and water pump failures. H60	60,000 miles or 5 years	£100–£150 Dealer: £150–£220
