Ford Fiesta Service Intervals

What are the service intervals for a Ford Fiesta?

The Ford Fiesta has rightly earned its badge of one of the UK’s bestselling cars. It’s a dream to drive with dynamic handling and responsive throttle, but most importantly it has a peerless build quality. But even the most durable cars need regular maintenance, so it’s vital to stick to your Ford Fiesta’s service intervals.

Regularly servicing your Ford Fiesta keeps it in top condition so you can enjoy it for years to come. Having a fully stamped service book also bolsters your car’s value so it’ll be worth more when you come to sell it down the line.

Ford Fiesta Service types

There’s a range of options when it comes to servicing your Ford Fiesta with varying levels of service types. They are suitable at different intervals based on your model year and engine type. Explore the service types below:
Convenience checks (interim services)

A yearly check that acts as an interim between main services.

Convenience checks are Ford’s version of an interim check. They’re perfect for low mileage drivers e.g. drivers who do under 3,000 miles a year. This gives you a chance to get your car checked if your main service is still a while off.

This acts as a health check and also renews your Service Activated Roadside Assistance (SARA) for another 12 months.
Service Activated Roadside Assistance (SARA)

Every new Ford car comes with 12 months of European Roadside Assistance from the date of registration. This is extended for another 12 months every time you get a Convenience Check or Scheduled Service, or until your next service.

So you can get your Ford Fiesta serviced and renew your roadside cover for free!
Full service

Every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Ford Fiesta Variable Oil Service Intervals
Variable oil service intervals are based solely on your driving. Your display will show an ‘oil change required’ message when needed, and from here you’ll have 1,000 miles or 1 month (whichever is soonest) to change the oil.

So you don’t have to worry about sticking to a set number of months or miles. Instead, your Ford Fiesta will tell you when it’s time for an oil change.*

To increase the time between oil change intervals, you should avoid:
- Regular low-speed driving under 30mph
- Frequent short trips under 2 miles
- Heavy engine load driving, including driving with a fully loaded car, towing trailers and frequently driving up steep hills
* This feature is only available on certain Ford Fiesta models. This typically won’t be available on older models.
