A well-maintained car is not just about reliability – it is about safety for you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road.
Take a few minutes each week to check the following:
- Tyre tread depth (legal minimum is 1.6mm, but more is recommended in wet conditions) and correct tyre pressures.
- Brake condition, including responsiveness and any unusual noises.
- Windscreen wipers and washer fluid levels to ensure clear visibility at all times.
- All lights, including headlights, brake lights, fog lights, and indicators, are working correctly.
- Engine oil, coolant, and other essential fluid levels.
- Battery condition, as cold weather can reduce battery performance.
