Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service itemIntervalTypical cost
Brake fluid
2-year interval regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces boiling point and can cause brake fade. Essential for safe braking performance.
K9, Partner-Legacy
 2 years
£60–£90
Dealer: £90–£130
Coolant flush
Peugeot specifies 6-year intervals for long-life coolant. Specialists recommend 4-5 years to prevent corrosion in aluminium engines. Use only PSA-approved G12++ coolant.
K9, Partner-Legacy
 96,000 miles or 6 years
£90–£130
Dealer: £130–£200
DPF forced regeneration check
Annual diagnostic check of DPF regeneration cycles and soot loading. Commercial vehicles doing mainly short journeys may need manual regeneration. Prevention is cheaper than DPF replacement.
