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 Peugeot specifies 10,000 miles or 12 months. T5, T5FL	10,000 miles or 1 year	£60–£90 Dealer: £120–£180
Air filter Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Check more frequently in dusty conditions. Clogged air filter reduces performance and increases fuel consumption on all variants. T5, T5FL	20,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £40–£70
Cabin pollen filter Located behind glove box. Replace every 20,000 miles or when air conditioning becomes less effective. Blocked filter causes poor cabin ventilation and windscreen misting. T5, T5FL	20,000 miles or 2 years	£20–£35 Dealer: £35–£60
Fuel filter Replace every 60,000 miles on diesel variants. Located under rear of vehicle or in engine bay depending on variant. Blocked filter causes poor performance and potential injection system damage. T5, T5FL	60,000 miles or 6 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £140–£220

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. Use correct grade - typically NGK or Bosch. Worn plugs cause poor starting, rough idle and increased fuel consumption. Check for oil fouling which indicates other problems. T5, T5FL	40,000 miles or 4 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£200
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces braking effectiveness and causes corrosion. Use DOT 4 specification fluid only. T5, T5FL	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £90–£140
Coolant flush Replace coolant every 80,000 miles or 8 years. Use correct G12+ specification antifreeze. Flush system completely to remove old coolant. Check thermostat operation at same time. T5, T5FL	80,000 miles or 8 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £130–£200
Auxiliary belt Replace every 60,000 miles or when showing signs of wear. Check tensioner condition at same time - common failure point. Belt failure causes loss of alternator, power steering and air conditioning. T5, T5FL	60,000 miles or 6 years	£60–£100 Dealer: £100–£160
