5 Easy Checks for Your Car!

When it comes to car maintenance, it’s important not to just wait for your yearly MOT to ensure your vehicle is in tiptop condition. Instead, regularly carry out these 5 simple checks to make sure your car is in good working order.

Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is suitable for your vehicle. Another thing to check is that your tyres have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm, and check the physical condition of your tyres for cuts or wear.

Use your dipstick to check your oil levels regularly, and top up if needed. If you’re topping up more than usual, visit us so we can find and fix the problem.

Make sure your screenwash is topped up so you can clear debris or dirt off your windscreen, essential in the Winter weather!

Test your indicators, hazard lights, headlights, fog lights, reverse lights and brake lights. If any of these are not functioning correctly, you are putting yourself and other lives at risk.

Have you checked you have enough fuel for your journey? It may sound obvious but you’d be surprised just how many people run out of fuel, particularly in harsh winter weather.

By carrying out these simple checks, you’ll ensure your car is properly maintained this February. If you find an issue with you vehicle, Car Doctor is on hand to help.
