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 on petrol engines. Use correct heat range specification. Worn plugs cause misfires and emissions test failures. GEN1	40,000 miles or 4 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£180
Coolant flush Flush cooling system every 75,000 miles or 5 years. Use PSA-specification long-life coolant. Old coolant loses corrosion protection and can cause radiator and water pump failure. GEN1	75,000 miles or 5 years	£120–£180 Dealer: £180–£280
