This is the standard service schedule recommended by Ford but, if you suspect that anything is wrong with the way your car is working, you should always get it serviced or checked to make sure everything is running as it should be. This may be something as simple as an engine oil service for an oil change or checking the brake fluid or pollen filter.

Whenever you do get your vehicle serviced, you will need to ensure that it is as thorough as possible. It’s always better to catch any problems before they become major rather than let the problem get worse and lead to more costly repairs.

Why is it important to service your Ford Kuga regularly?

When buying a new car, you may look to make sure that the car has a full-service history which shows that it’s been well looked after and is in good condition. So, when it comes to selling your own car and throughout the ownership of your car, this is something you should bear in mind.

Making sure that your car is regularly serviced will not only keep your car in good working condition and help to prevent problems and extra costs for you, it will also help to improve the value of your car when you come to sell it. Let’s have a look at the reasons for keeping your car serviced in more detail:

Peace of mind from knowing that your car is in good condition

If you’re going on a long journey or commuting to work, the last thing you need is for your car to break down on the way. With regular servicing, you will have peace of mind that your car is not showing any signs of wear and tear or damage.

Higher resale value

Servicing your car at the suggested and required intervals by the manufacturer means you will have a full-service record when you come to sell or part exchange your car in the future. Keeping your car in good condition by servicing it regularly will help to protect its value and makes it worth more.

Save money over the long term

Whether it’s the engine failing or something as simple as needing to replace the engine oil, an unexpected problem can be very expensive. By failing to regularly service your car, you could find that your car needs replacement parts which can cost you huge amounts of money. This can be easily avoided by having your car regularly serviced and checked by trained technicians.

Keep your car safe and road worthy

Having your car break down mid-journey can be an inconvenience and cost a huge amount of money. Making sure that your car has been regularly serviced, with everything from the pollen filters to spark plugs checked, will keep your vehicle safe and help to reduce the risk of break down or serious faults.
