UK service interval
UK Passats (B7 / B8 saloon and Estate) share Volkswagen Fixed vs Flexible intervals with Golf/Tiguan. High-mileage motorway Estates often leave the factory on Flexible; low-mileage / urban cars suit Fixed (~9,300 miles / 12 months).
Intervals are whichever comes first (miles or months) unless noted. They vary by engine, model year, market and service regime. Confirm in the handbook, service booklet or dealer system for your VIN before you book work.
| Service | Miles | Months | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed — oil & inspection | 9,300 | 12 | Whichever comes first. VW UK Fixed recommendation for lower annual mileage and short trips. |
| Flexible / LongLife — oil | up to ~18,600 | up to 24 | Follow the service-interval display. VWFS plans may quote up to 20,000 miles / 24 months. |
