DB It's one of the most common questions drivers ask, and while there's general guidance, the honest answer depends on your specific vehicle.
General guidance
For many vehicles, a full service is commonly carried out around every 12 months or 12,000 miles, while higher-mileage drivers may benefit from an interim service around six months or 6,000 miles.
Why your manufacturer's schedule matters most
Your vehicle manufacturer provides a servicing schedule based on factors such as mileage, time, engine and model, and this should take priority over generic guidance.
Signs your car might be due sooner
- It's been over a year since your last service
- You've done significantly more miles than expected
- You've noticed a warning light or change in performance
- You're planning a long journey
