Low annual mileage what service required

Caskin · 2nd February 2019, 14:56

Due to serious health problems my V6 connie has only clocked 500 miles in the last 12 months.
Last year she had a full service ,do I need to repeat any of it this year.i.e. Will the oil and filter be OK?
Thanks in advance for replies

I would think not, only 500 miles, not much wear and tear, but just keep an eye on your battery being idle for so long.....

Some things in the service schedule are either mileage or time. Servicing details are available here.

Oil and filter change, and a quick check of the brakes should suffice

Thanks It was a case of confirming my thoughts! All time related items as some members have mentioned are up to date, as for battery, good thought but I took precautions some time ago and hard wired a CTEK smart battery trickle charger and conditioner ,so when not in use car is permanently attached.
CTEK is a bit expensive but well worth it.
So thanks again, just waiting on weather improving as well as my health and get back to some enjoyable driving and fishing.
