Van Service Intervals — What Different Manufacturers Recommend
Service intervals vary by manufacturer from 12,000 to 30,000 miles. Know your van's schedule to avoid warranty issues and expensive repairs.
Service intervals vary significantly between manufacturers and are often expressed in miles OR time (whichever comes first). Ford Transit Connect — every 12 months or 12,500 miles. Mercedes Sprinter — every 24 months or 30,000 miles (variable depending on oil quality). Volkswagen Crafter — every 24 months or 24,000 miles. Vauxhall Vivaro — every 12 months or 20,000 miles. Vehicles that do frequent short journeys, heavy towing, or operate in dusty conditions should be serviced more frequently regardless of the manufacturer schedule. Always check the vehicle handbook or service book for the exact schedule for your specific model and engine.
