Would you spot a problem with your car?

We’ve conveniently circled this one – but it’s a reminder to check your vehicle every week – not just when you’re preparing for an MOT.

Remember to check:

Tyres have the correct pressure, no cuts or bulges and at least 1.6mm of tread depth 🛞

Fluid levels are topped up according to your vehicle’s handbook 💧

Windscreen and mirrors are clear and clean, with fully functioning wipers 🪟

Brakes are performing properly – not spongy or slack 🛑

Number plates are clean, undamaged and easy to see 🧽

Good Morning, the driver of this van took 16 attempts to pass his driving test, which was finally passed within the last year. It's a shame (for him) that he's going to lose it with his new 6 points for driving whilst using a hand-held device 📵 🤦‍♂️🤦👨‍⚖️ Happy Friday and stay safe folks.
