Most manufacturers recommend a standard service every 12 months or about 12,000 miles, but business use typically warrants more frequent checks — many fleets adopt servicing every 6 months or 8,000–10,000‑mile intervals to prevent breakdowns and extend vehicle life.

Proactive maintenance reduces breakdown risk, extends vehicle life, improves safety and compliance, and lowers long‑term costs by avoiding expensive emergency repairs and downtime disruptions.

Yes — regular servicing helps prevent costly late repairs, improves fuel efficiency, and makes budgeting more predictable by reducing unplanned expenses and downtime costs.

Plans usually include scheduled servicing, inspections for brakes and tyres, oil changes, MOT tracking, compliance checks, diagnostics, and can be tailored to include on‑site support or emergency repairs as needed.
