What to look for
A service interval should be based on the vehicle manufacturer's schedule, mileage, age and usage. A vehicle used heavily in traffic can experience different wear from one used mainly for longer highway journeys.
Practical next steps
Do not wait for a major fault before inspecting a vehicle. Changes in engine noise, braking feel, tyre condition, warning lights, fluid leaks or air-conditioning performance can be useful reasons to arrange an assessment.
