Advice on MOT tests, servicing and keeping your vehicle safe and roadworthy.
Regular servicing is one of the best ways to keep your car safe, reliable and running efficiently. Yet many drivers aren’t entirely sure what actually happens when they book their vehicle into a garage. Understanding the difference between an interim, full and major service can help you maintain your car properly and avoid costly problems later on.
As more drivers make the switch to hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs), questions around servicing and maintenance are becoming increasingly common. While these cars are designed to be efficient and reliable, they still need regular attention to keep them in top condition. Understanding how servicing differs from a petrol or diesel vehicle can help you save money, extend vehicle life, and avoid unnecessary surprises.
The MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is a compulsory test for vehicles which ensures that they meet the minimum safety and environmental standards. Driving without an MOT (unless you are driving to the test centre) is illegal, and your mechanic will do what is needed to make sure that your vehicle passes. However, understanding the most common reasons for MOT failure can help you better prepare your vehicle for its MOT test and avoid these problems.
