Grooming the culture that matches how you drive

Moticar keeps track of your vehicle’s condition and reminds you when attention is needed—based on how you actually drive.

Keeping up with vehicle maintenance is one of the most effective ways to reduce long-term ownership costs — but most people forget, delay, or simply don’t know when things are due. Moticar’s Maintenance feature solves this by tracking your service history and reminding you of upcoming work based on real usage, not just fixed calendar dates.

With the motibuddie connected, Moticar monitors your actual mileage and adjusts maintenance schedules dynamically. If you drive 3,000 km in a heavy month, your oil change reminder comes sooner. If you’ve been mostly parked, it pushes back accordingly. This usage-based approach means you maintain your car when it actually needs it — not too early (wasting money) and not too late (risking damage).

Beyond engine maintenance, the feature also tracks your driving documents: MOT or roadworthiness certificates, vehicle registration, and insurance policies. Each document’s expiry date is logged, and you receive reminders at 30 days, 14 days, and 3 days before expiration — so you’re never caught off guard at a checkpoint or during a routine stop.

You can also log completed maintenance with cost, mechanic details, and notes. Over time, this builds a comprehensive service history for your vehicle — invaluable for resale value and for identifying recurring problems.

For fleet operators, the Maintenance dashboard shows every vehicle’s service status at a glance, making it easy to plan maintenance windows and budget for upcoming work across the entire fleet.
