Peugeot Service Intervals
Does anybody know the recommended service intervals for Peugeot based motorhomes? I have the service record booklet but there is no information about the frequency, neither in the documentation nor on the MyPeugeot website. I had the first service after two years and have just booked an MOT and service for the end of the third year. I was asked whether I wanted a full service or just a routine service (safety check and oil change). Also, there was a suggestion that every two years should be OK?
The warranty will not be an issue as it expires at the end of three years and the mileage is low so it would seem a bit pointless to have it serviced every year.

In my service books it stipulates that if a van does less than 6000 miles a year it needs at least an oil change every year but I think this has changed on newer models, mine is now nearly six years old. Otherwise I think it said every 29000 miles or two years.

hi, according to the handbook of my 2016 boxer based Bailey the service is due every 2 years or 20,000 miles whichever is earliest, which my local Peugeot dealer confirmed, hope this helps.

My van is a 2017 Euro 6 Citroen but may have the same 2 Litre PAS engine. If it does the service intervals are every 32,000 miles or 2 years for "systematic operations" with a different schedule for "additional operations" e.g. replace air filter every 4 years. Short periods for so called "arduous conditions.
If Peugeot work the same way as Citroen there will be a specific schedule for your vehicle as well as a general own. You can probably phone up Peugeot (have your VIN to hand) and they will be able to e-mail you vehicle specific information.

Thanks for the replies. I will check all the documents again but it looks like two years is fine, although I will have the routine service this year in case there are any warranty issues.

I asked the question on the Peugeot website and got a very prompt reply giving full service details for my vehicle. Somehow this is not covered in any of the handbooks given to me.
It’s two yearly for normal use so I am going to skip this year and get the MOT only.

The oil recommended by Peugeot is said to be long life and should not degrade within two years. That’s why it’s around twice the price of ordinary oil.

Our van is a Fiat, but it uses the same oil and has the same service interval.. Every 2 years or 30k miles which ever comes first...so it is changed anyway either by time or mileage.. Ours was done at 2 years and we had I think about 15k on the clock.. Motor-homes tend not to do high mileages. It is now 3 years old and is still under 20k..

I probably would but it’s irrelevant in this case.

Honest John (Motoring journalist) always recommends annual oil changes as do some other “experts”. I take the view that if the manufacturer quotes a specific oil and an oil change interval of two years then I am not going to say that I know better. Skipping an annual service and “safety check” as suggested by the garage will save me £240. Why not take advantage of progress in engine and lubricant design to minimise the cost of ownership?

With servicing being on a time or mileage basis, whichever comes first, we should be fine in sticking to that providing the correct fluids and parts are used.
