This video highlights the importance of scheduled checks, based on both time and mileage, but always according to the principle of 'whichever condition occurs first': if you have driven too few miles for a service, but the time parameter has been reached, do not wait until you have completed the expected mileage.

In the video, we see that the Fiat 500 on the ramp had covered very few miles during the two years of COVID, two years that had passed nonetheless, during which a significant leak occurred from the water pump that, if not checked in time, could have caused serious damage.
