Paying off a loan early?

Hi all
I have a 3yr loan, originally £8k now down to £2.5k or thereabouts, at 3.4%. I plan to apply for a mortgage in the next year or so.

I want to pay the car loan off - but will doing so adversely affect my credit history?
I have no other debt, and enough savings to pay it off, but if it's better to leave it for the term, I will.

Advice, oh wise people?
