Ford Mondeo service intervals: Ford servicing schedule


When you own a Ford Mondeo it is important to get it serviced often in order to keep it in good working order and reduce the risk of major breakdowns. Regular services will ensure your Mondeo stays in a safe, roadworthy and reliable condition and help you to fix small problems before they become too big and costly.

This guide will explain what should be included in a service for your Ford Mondeo, why a regularly scheduled service is important and where you can have this service done. Click on one of the links below to jump to that section:






What should be included in a Ford service and why is it important?

A full Ford service should involve detailed inspections of several different areas of the vehicle to ensure that it is functioning safely and without errors. Your Mondeo's lights, exhaust, suspension, steering, tyre pressure and cooling system will all be checked by a trained technician. The battery will also be tested and engine oil and oil filter replaced to ensure the engine keeps running smoothly.

This type of routine maintenance is vital for ensuring the engine is healthy and running as efficiently as possible. Failure to maintain a healthy engine could lead to major mechanical faults which might lead to unexpected breakdowns and expensive repairs. If minor problems with a vehicle are spotted and rectified early, they are less likely to evolve into major and costly problems in the future.

Services are also important for keeping a car safe and roadworthy. Although mandatory MOTs check that vehicles are safe enough to be on the roads, they do not go into as much detail as full services. When you take your Ford for regular servicing you have greater peace of mind that your vehicle's breaks and safety features are in full working order.

Cars that are regularly serviced tend to have longer lifespans than those which are not, so it makes sense to invest in regular servicing to ensure your car stays on the road for longer. Plus, Fords with a complete service history tend to retain their resell value far better, which means you're likely to get a better price for your vehicle should you choose to sell it.

How much does a Ford Mondeo service cost?

The average Ford Mondeo service costs around £160, but the cost varies depending on various factors. Older models might cost more to service since they are more likely to have mechanical problems that need to be rectified. Newer cars are less likely to need repairs, but new Ford Mondeos often have more complex parts and features which might make servicing more complicated and costly. Engine size also plays a role in service costs; Mondeos with powerful engines tend to be more expensive to service than those with smaller engines.

The type of service also affects cost. Most garages offer interim, full and major services, with interim being the cheapest and most basic. It might be tempting to opt for this service, but if your Ford Mondeo service schedule dictates a full service is necessary, it is wise to make this investment to ensure your car runs as it should and is less likely to need expensive repairs at a later date.

FAQs

When should you get your first service on a used car?

You should conduct your first service on a used car according to the manufacturer's guidelines, which might be anywhere between six months and two years. Check the vehicle's service history manual for the manufacturer's recommended service schedule and when the car was last serviced.

What is involved with the first and second servicing of a car?

The first service of a new car is usually an interim service and involves basic checks and maintenance since the car is unlikely to have yet run into any major problems. A second service is likely to be a full service, which involves much more detailed checks to ensure the engine is healthy and the vehicle is running safely.

Do you need to get your used car serviced by the dealership you got it from?

Although it is not essential to get a used car serviced by the dealer from which you bought it, it is often recommended by car manufacturers to use one of their approved dealerships. Doing so will ensure that services are performed according to manufacturer's guidelines and any replacement parts used are genuine in order to avoid the vehicle warranty from becoming void in future. If you have a Ford Fiesta or a Ford Mondeo, for example, it is best to get it serviced by a Ford dealer who has expertise in these models.

What happens if you don’t get your car serviced?

Neglecting to get a car routinely serviced increases the risk of mechanical problems and breakdowns in the future. Without this, cars are more likely to run into mechanical issues which might be more expensive to fix at a later date. An engine that is not properly maintained is likely to become less efficient, and the lifespan and subsequent value of the car might diminish.
