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.
