Did you know?

UK law requires that your vehicle is fitted with the correct type and size of tyre for the vehicle type you are driving and for the purpose it is being used. This means fitting the right tyres and for safety ensuring that they are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
The legal limit for minimum depth of the tread on your tyres is 1.6 millimetres, across 75% of the tread.

A regular check of your tyres can help you to avoid 3 penalty points and £2,500 in fines (per tyre) for having tyres worn beyond the legal minimum limit on your vehicle.

Savings on fuel

Having the right tyre pressures on your vehicle can save you money and reduce your carbon footprint. Maintaining the correct tyre pressure helps with optimum fuel efficiency. This in turn equates to reduce Co2 emissions from your vehicle, which in turn helps saving you money at the fuel pumps. You can save a lot by getting the most from your tyres.

Brakes

Regular brake checks are an important part of any vehicle preventative maintenance plan. Brake checks can identify a problem before it begins to improve your braking efficiency, thus providing an opportunity to restore the effectiveness of your vehicle's braking system to its intended operating performance. The effects of a sudden brake failure can be devastating and in the event of an accident attributed to faulty brakes, the consequences of not maintaining an effective braking system could result in prosecution. Your vehicle will also fail its MOT test if braking efficiency is below specification.

As best practice for people who cover average or greater than average annual mileage and for normal coverage motorists, Advantage Motor Group recommend that a vehicle's braking system is checked at least once a year.

We offer a free, no-obligation brake check that takes around 45 minutes. Report of our inspection showing the current condition of your braking system, together with a free no obligation quote should any work be required.
