How will you benefit from following the manufacturer's service schedule for your vehicle?
- A Your vehicle will be cheaper to insure
- B Your vehicle tax will be lower
- C Your vehicle will remain reliable
- D Your journey times will be reduced
Why this is the answer
All vehicles need to be serviced to keep working efficiently. An efficient engine uses less fuel and produces fewer harmful emissions than an engine that's running inefficiently. Keeping the vehicle serviced to the manufacturer's schedule should also keep it reliable and reduce the chance of it breaking down.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Your vehicle will be cheaper to insure — Insurers do not price a policy on your service history.
- B
- Your vehicle tax will be lower — Vehicle tax is set by emissions band, not by servicing.
- D
- Your journey times will be reduced — A serviced car does not travel any faster.
