Servicing & MOT at M53 Ford

Getting the best performance from your Ford vehicle requires regular maintenance. Not only does adhering to the recommended service schedule keep all your car’s systems and components in good working order, it also helps to maintain its value when the time comes to sell.

Here at M53 Ford, we take as much care over maintaining your vehicle as Ford did building it. Our Ellesmere Port and Birkenhead dealerships have fully-equipped workshops on-site, where highly skilled technicians perform Ford car service & MOT tests, keeping your vehicle in prime condition. We use the latest tools and technology to identify and fix any issues that may have arisen, and when it comes to repairs, we only use genuine Ford parts, ensuring that you benefit from quality components that are completely compatible with your specific model. And because we’re independently checked by the RAC and have "Golden Spanner" Trading Standards approved workshops, you can rely on us to deliver excellence across our aftersales services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please study our frequently asked servicing questions. If your query remains unanswered, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

How much does a service cost?

Close

The price will vary depending on the type of service you require and whether repairs and/or replacement parts are required. Details of our Ford Essential Service pricing can be found here. Please contact us if you’d like to know more.

Do you service electric vehicles?

Close

Absolutely. Ford produces a wide range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, and while most servicing aspects remain the same, there are of course differences. Whether your vehicle is powered by fuel, electricity or a combination of the two, you can expect impressive, budget-friendly results.

How do I find my vehicle’s service history?

Close

You might be able to find it online via your Ford Account and/or FordPass app. This will depend on the age of your vehicle because all Ford vehicles sold since 2022 come with a Digital Service Record while older vehicles were issued with a printed service book.

How often should you service your car?

Close

Typically, you should service your car every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. For specific service interval recommendations, please refer to your owner’s manual or (if you own a Ford) access the information via FordPass. Alternatively, don’t hesitate to contact the friendly, knowledgeable M53 Ford Birkenhead or Ellesmere Port service team.

What does a car service include?

Close

It depends on the type of service.

  • An interim service (usually every six months or 6,000 miles) comprises a multi-point inspection – around 50 individual checks – plus an engine oil change and installation of a new oil filter, if applicable.
  • A full service (typically every 12 months or 12,000 miles) is more extensive and features closer to 80 individual checks.

If you have any servicing questions, don’t hesitate to contact us

Is a full service worth it?

Close

It’s not only worth it, it’s essential. Regular servicing is the key to your car’s continuing roadworthiness and safety. It will also help to ensure optimal resale value.

When does a new car need a service?

Close

In most cases, after 12 months (or 12,000 miles) of initial use. For specific service interval details, please check your owner’s handbook or, if it’s a Ford, the FordPass App – or contact your local M53 service team.
