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 10,000 miles or 12 months. Small capacity engine benefits from shorter intervals in city driving conditions. Change oil and filter together - separate changes not recommended. K13	10,000 miles or 1 year	£60–£90 Dealer: £120–£180
Air filter Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. City driving or dusty conditions may require more frequent replacement. Check condition at each service - simple visual inspection. K13	20,000 miles or 2 years	£15–£25 Dealer: £30–£45
Cabin pollen filter Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Located behind glovebox. Blocked filter reduces heater performance and can cause musty odours through ventilation system. K13	20,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £50–£80

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 40,000 miles or 4 years. 3-cylinder engine sensitive to plug condition - worn plugs cause rough idle and poor fuel economy more quickly than on 4-cylinder engines. K13	40,000 miles or 4 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £140–£200
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing braking performance and causing internal corrosion in brake components. K13	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £100–£150
Coolant flush Replace every 60,000 miles or 5 years. Small cooling system capacity means contaminated coolant affects cooling efficiency more quickly than on larger engines. Check coolant condition annually. K13	60,000 miles or 5 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£220
