How Often Should I Service My CUPRA?

Make sure your high-powered car runs properly with CUPRA servicing. Keeping to your service schedule maintains your vehicle, ensuring that it’s running properly and safely at all times. Regular servicing also helps to prevent any unexpected issues as well as maintaining the value of your car in the long run.

It’s vital to get your CUPRA checked over at a specialist service centre that knows your car inside out. At Group 1 CUPRA, we have a team of expert technicians who carry out servicing with genuine OEM parts and approved tools.

Our CUPRA specialists check over the vital parts of your car to make sure everything is safe and working. Depending on the level of service needed, the following may be checked:

• Engine oil
• Oil filters
• Air filters
• Lights, tyres, body and exhaust
• Steering, brakes and alignment
• Fluid and coolant levels 
• Suspension and shock absorbers
• Battery

CUPRA has only been its own brand since early 2018, so all CUPRA cars are relatively new. There are two main types of servicing available: LongLife service (Flexible) and Fixed.

CUPRA Fixed service

CUPRA Fixed servicing is recommended if you:

• Drive under 10,000 miles a year
• Make frequent short journeys
• Carry out high engine-load driving (up hills, towing trailers, with passengers)
• Drive at high RPM and accelerate/brake hard

With fixed servicing, you need to get your car checked after the first 20,000 miles or two years, whichever is first, then every year or every 20,000 miles.

CUPRA Flexible service

Flexible servicing is for CUPRA cars with LongLife engine oil.

Your dash will alert you when it’s time for an oil change service, thanks to technology that monitors engine oil levels. This will be, at most, two years or 20,000 miles in.

Inspection services are also needed after two years or 20,000 miles from new, then every year or 20,000 miles.



With both servicing types, you’ll need to get your car serviced every 20,000 miles or once a year. The main difference is with LongLife engine oil - models with this will alert you when it’s time for an oil service.

The below table is just a guide. Your actual service intervals depend on your model, engine, year, driving style, driving environment and annual mileage.
