Question 4494

How should preventive maintenance be done?

  1. By replacing only worn parts.
  2. By taking the vehicle to a repair shop once a year for a checkup.
  3. According to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions and by passing the ITV inspections.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: According to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions and by passing the ITV inspections.

Preventive maintenance gets ahead of breakdowns. You follow the manufacturer's schedule, which specifies how many kilometers or months you should go between checks of each part, and have your vehicle undergo its ITV inspection when it is due. A yearly checkup may not match that schedule, and replacing only worn parts leaves the rest unchecked.
