Volkswagen is a staple of British roads - popular, stylish and reliable - so it's no wonder it was the UK's best-selling car brand in 2021 and 2022. However, the brand's global popularity began much earlier with the original Volkswagen Beetle, one of the best-selling cars of the entire 20th century, with over 21.5 million vehicles sold. And while classic VW models like the Golf continue to dominate sales, newer editions like the all-electric ID. Buzz are also causing a stir. At the 2023 WhatCar? Awards, the Buzz was crowned both 'Large Electric Car of the Year' and overall 'Car of the Year'. Find out how much servicing costs for a Volkswagen in this guide.

The Volkswagen Passat is a classy executive car with heaps of interior space. It was introduced in 1973, and the ninth generation was unveiled half a century later, in 2023, counting the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class among its rivals. In addition to being named 'Europe's Car of the Year' in 2015, the Passat has earned itself a stellar reputation for reliability. Major problems are rare, though keep an eye out for power steering and suspension issues.

An interim car service - sometimes called a minor car service - involves inspecting several key car components and systems, including a safety assessment, engine oil change and fluid check.

The car service schedule for an interim service is every six months or every six thousand miles. As a driver, following this guidance is smart because if you don't, you may not realise a problem is developing, and it could cost you more money later down the line. Interim services can catch potential problems early.

The difference between an interim and full service is the number of components checked; a full service is more comprehensive. Likewise, the difference between a vehicle health check and interim service is that the former only includes the inspection of various parts. In contrast, the latter may consist of an oil change and the topping up of other fluids.
