French brand Citroen offers a capped price servicing plan that it dubs its Citroen Confidence Service Price Promise.
The company backs it model range with a five-year capped-price servicing plan for its model range, from the Berlingo small commercial van through to the Grand C4 Picasso people mover.
The service intervals vary depending on the model. All are due annually, but the distance varies between 15,000km and 20,000km.
In terms of the costs? They’re high by class standards. See the table below for the full breakdown of the Citroen model range service intervals and costs, but almost $4000 over six years for a basic compact delivery van negates the initial affordability, to a degree.
The brand offers a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty and a five-year roadside assist plan for its passenger car range, but the Berlingo suffers a shorter three-year/100,000km plan, with 36 months roadside assist cover.
With five years’ cover for servicing, Citroen could be an enticing option for new customers if only the costs were more realistic. Paying about $600 per annum for scheduled maintenance is simply too much. 5/10
