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
Small capacity engine requires frequent oil changes. Use 5W-30 specification oil. Change filter with every oil change to prevent premature wear.

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 2 years or when misfiring occurs. Use correct heat range specification. Worn plugs cause poor starting and increased emissions.
MK1
|
20,000 miles or 2 years |
£30–£50
|
|
Brake fluid
Change every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces braking performance and causes internal corrosion.
MK1
|
2 years |
£35–£55
|
|
Coolant flush
Replace coolant and flush system every 4 years. Use correct antifreeze specification. Old coolant loses corrosion protection and can damage radiator and water pump.
MK1
|
40,000 miles or 4 years |
£50–£80
