the service sticker says next service due at 100,000K or before February 2021,
What a bizarre post.Your scheduled service is already late according to your own service sticker. What does the service manual for your specific vehicle say or the very useful internet say is due to be replaced/reviewed/repaired?
I could go through the usual "Petrol/Diesel/Hybrid?", "Engine capacity/No of cylinders?", "Are the tres worn?", "Is the brake/clutch fluid old?", "Is the coolant out of date or is it an air-cooled engine?", Is the A/C refrigerant sticker out of date?" and so, but I won't bother. Give it to your mechanic and let him figure it out and give you a quote for the work.
Based on the information provided it's unrealistic and unreasonable to expect anyone to answer your question which lacks any kind of specificity. RTFM as they say.
The service parts such as air filter , oil filter , spark plugs etc will not be worn and not require changing . Just get oil changed and ask for a check over . Should be no more than 100 euro
Remember it is already 4 months 'overdue'.
Even though your overall mileage is less than usual, if you have done mainly short start/stop journeys then the life span of the oil will suffer.
Not to mention that most engine wear occurs from startup until working temps. are reached.
Contrary to what is advised above, oil change and new oil filter go hand in hand, or at least they should .
fair enough but should still cost under 100Remember it is already 4 months 'overdue'.

But no polite answer forthcoming Gordon?What a bizarre post.
Nope, it doesn't provide enough information to formulate any sensible answers, just the guessing and incorrect answers postedThe OP’s post is entirely reasonable and sensible.
No Gordon, not one whit, unless someone possesses has the technical know-how to 2nd guess the manufacturer's schedule.If the sticker says “next service at 100,000 km or in February 2021”, does the fact that the car’s been parked up for most of the year change that?
Okay, let’s use a simple example to illustrate the point…But no polite answer forthcoming Gordon?

How old is the car Do you know when the car is due to have a timing belt change, they need to be changed after so many milesDue to Covid restrictions, have not done the expected mileage over the last 16 months so does car require service ? the service sticker says next service due at 100,000K or before February 2021, so anyone have any idea what expires/needs replacing when there is no normal wear or tear ? oil, brake fluid etc..
If oil is being changed then absolutely you do, as I said above.Do I need a change of oil filter
Haven't a clue, we don't know when it was last changed, we cannot see its condition etc....and air filter as well
No it won't, high RPM emission tests are a thing of the past.the timing belt will be put under pressure during NCT test
Are you even sure your vehicle uses a belt?that reminder about the timing belt is enough to get it booked in,
Just wondering why you think that?will be an issue for many people l think..
Air filter changed same time as last oil change, 23 months and 12,000 km ago.Haven't a clue, we don't know when it was last changed, we cannot see its condition etc....
Well then very unlikely, unless you live/drive in a particularly dusty environment.Air filter changed same time as last oil change, 23 months and 12,000 km ago.
don't, rev the bollocks out of it
